Kanye West Becomes Most Streamed Artist On Spotify Amid Donda 2 Anticpation

Enigmatic mogul and headline driver Kanye West released parts of his Donda 2 album on his Stem Player on February 23.

Kanye West has maintained a stranglehold on digital streaming platforms, in particular Spotify, despite a finished version of Donda 2 not materializing on his $200 Stem Player. With the dual hype of his Netflix documentary jeen-yuhsand Donda 2 in full swing, the enigmatic mogul has sat atop the mountain for most-streamed artists on Spotify for two consecutive days. According to Chart Data, Ye has been the go-to artist on the platform as fans not only revisit the glory days of The College Dropout and Late Registration but also select songs from the original Donda release Ye performed during his Miami listening event on February 22 . was the #1 most streamed artist on US Spotify on February 26. chart data (@chartdata) February 27, 2022 The particulars behind Yes dominance on Spotify come after he repeatedly told fans Donda 2 wouldnt be available on traditional streaming platforms and had turned down a $100 million deal from Appleto host the album exclusively on their platform. Following the recent Donda 2 listening experience, individual songs began to be added to the Stem Player websitebeginning with Security, Pablo featuring Future and Travis Scott Broken Road featuring Don Toliverand We Did It Kid featuring Baby Keemand Migos Days later, 16 additional songs were added to the player, with Keep It Burning the lone song added (although that wasnt performed during the Miami event). The concept of the Stem Player, originally introduced with his Donda album, is giving fans the ability to remove or add specific elements of songs. The constant updates to tracks echoes an idea Ye had with 2016s The Life of Pablo in crafting a living album where songs are frequently tinkered with and there are no finished versions due to Yes creative desire to establish whatever sound he chooses.
