Prince surpasses 10 Million Spotify Listeners

For the 1st time Prince has crossed the 10M listeners mark on Spotify.

Thanks to the new single Welcome 2 America (400k streams since release).

Most popular tracks on the platform are Purple Rain (254M streams), Kiss (225M), When Doves Cry (127M), Raspberry Beret (109M) and 1999 (73M).

I always feel like it should be ‘listens’. This is what is meant. ‘Listeners’ means something else. Language is key to meaning.

Yes, Spotify is a poor audio quality shit-pit.... but still laughing out loud at the negativity that the org delights in sowing.

Very surprised that When Doves Cry isn't tops, though I think it gets "split" because it's on so many compilations.

Would be cool to check the API and see the full list. Guess I have a project for tonight!

What do you mean? He has 10M listeners or 'users' who listened to Prince the past month.

The actual number of streams,plays,listens is bigger than 10M.

10M listeners seems like a lot for Prince.

Wow! That’s 10 MILLION people who have actively listened to Prince in the last few months. Amazing when you think of it, and really shows the deep respect for him across the globe.

It's not. Most of these listeners probably only streamed Purple Rain or Kiss, some of his songs are included on Playlist with millions of followers.

Anyone know what figures like that translate to in revenue to the estate?

Which is why I say "seems". I hate having to repeat myself.

Most streaming numbers are manipulated by the industry to "increase" sales on the charts. That's how some one could beat Prince out of his number one debut slot for Lotusflow3r on the billboard top 200 (Prince was #2).

Let’s put an end to this silliness. From the tracks I’ve heard so far, it seems totally in keeping with his 2010 era output, i.e., nothing to write home about. My prediction: it’ll fade immediately.
