STREAMING SONGS: "FEFE" CONFETTI AND SWEETENER STREAMERS
6ix9ine f/Nicki Minaj's "FEFE" (Scumgang/TenThousand) tops this week's Streaming Songs Chart with nearly 25m streams. Ariana Grande's "breathin" (Republic), meanwhile, lands in the Top 5; Ari also takes the #16 spot with "God is a woman," with several other Sweetener cuts further down the list.
Indeed, with some 90m streams for Sweetener cuts this week, it's clear that Ariana, whose first album dropped in 2013, has effectively made the transition to the streaming world. Meanwhile, heavyweights Travis Scott (112m), Drake (67m) and Nicki Minaj (56m) also rack up big numbers.
Have you noticed that three of the four we just mentioned are on Republic? That's not unrelated to UMG's 63% marketshare; Sony clocks 25%, WMG 8% and indies 4%. Check out the whole chart here.
