The Spotify monthly listeners are not the same as the number of streams garnered by the artist. Artists can witness a boost in the number of Spotify monthly listeners when they make a release or trend online. The term Spotify monthly listeners refer to the number of unique listeners listening to a singer for more than 30 seconds during a rolling window of 28 days.
For instance, even though Michael Jackson has surpassed 8 billion streams on Spotify since 2021 and Bad racked up over 1.5 billion streams, his immense success does not guarantee his spot on the list, as his monthly listeners are not as high as those of artists like Eminem or Justin Bieber.
The omission of these legends can be traced to the window period used in calculating the number of Spotify monthly listeners. Spoiler alert! One thing you’ll quickly notice when going through our top 20 most streamed artists in the absence of artists like Michael Jackson, that enjoyed great success on streaming platforms in the past.
