around 70 billion streams, a top-ten global artist finish in a year she released nothing, and a set of figures that measure less than people think.
the short answer

the headline figures
| total catalogue streams | about 70 billion |
|---|---|
| songs above 1 billion | around thirty |
| songs above 2 billion | eight |

| 2024 year-end global artist rank | ninth |
| 2024 year-end global album rank | fifth, for eternal sunshine |
the per-song breakdown is on the streaming table, which is the more useful page if you want the order rather than the totals.
the 2024 finish is the interesting one
what a monthly listener figure is not
a measure of popularity, quite. monthly listeners counts anybody who played one song once in thirty days, which includes everybody served santa tell me by a december playlist and everybody who heard a remix on somebody else's record. her figure swings by tens of millions between january and december for that reason alone.
the figure that actually tracks an audience is total streams over time, and the figure that tracks devotion is what happens to album tracks — which for her is not very much, because playlists do not reach past track five.
the petal release day
on 1 august 2026 the album took the top eight positions on the us daily streaming chart and the top three globally, with the title track ahead of the lead single. that is a full-album consumption pattern rather than a single-driven one, and it is a better sign for a record than a large first-day number for one song would be.
what the platform does not tell you
spotify publishes rankings and withholds the underlying numbers, which is why every figure on this page is either a total scraped from public artist pages or a year-end rank. there is no public data on how much of her listening is playlist-served versus chosen, which is the number that would actually distinguish a durable audience from a large one.
the closest available proxy is the deep cuts problem: nothing from the back half of any of her albums appears in her top fifteen. that is a description of how playlists work rather than of what people like, and it is the single most useful caveat to attach to any streaming figure.
