Today (Mar 8th) is International Women’s Day and the month of March is Women’s History Month, so Spotify is honoring the most popularly-streamed women artists on their platform. Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, and Ariana Grande crack the top three respectively as the most streamed women artists in the U.S. When it comes to the global list, Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Beyoncé topped the list, respectively.
Those names are not surprising, being that Beyonce, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, and Ariana Granda are the biggest women stars in the game right now, however, Nicki isn’t on the global list at all.
