World music is experiencing a golden age for female artists, and Albanian names are not missing in this extraordinary success.
Bebe Rexha and Dua Lipa have made history on the largest music platform, Spotify, by ranking among the singers with the most songs that have exceeded 1 billion streams each.
Only a few women in the world have achieved this record.
According to an analysis published by InMusicBlog, only about 16 female singers worldwide have one or more songs that have surpassed the staggering figure of 1 billion plays on Spotify.
But of these, only half have managed to achieve this success with more than one song.
A significant example is Taylor Swift, who at the beginning of 2023 did not have a single song with over a billion streams, while today she ranks among the artists with the most hits to have crossed this threshold.
Latinos and K-Pop break records
Karol G and Shakira hold the record as Latin women with the most songs with over a billion streams.
On the other hand, LISA and JENNIE of the group BLACKPINK are the only K-Pop solo artists to have achieved this success with the songs "MONEY" and "Popular".
Albanians at the top: Dua Lipa and Bebe Rexha
There are also two famous Albanians on this list of the world elite:
Dua Lipa, with a full 12 songs that have exceeded 1 billion streams on Spotify - an achievement that places her among the five singers in the world with over 10 such songs.
Bebe Rexha, with 4 songs over a billion streams, confirming her status as one of the most successful artists of the last decade.
Doja Cat and the latest record
The most recent success of this kind is that of Doja Cat, whose song "You Right" has become the eighth to surpass one billion streams on Spotify, ranking her side by side with the biggest stars of the moment.
An era where Albanians also stand out
In a world where statistics and records on music platforms often determine the status of artists, the fact that Dua Lipa and Bebe Rexha are part of this exclusive group is further proof of the power of Albanian talent on the international stage. /GazetaExpress/
