<\/div>\n

Drake<\/a> retained the top spot on Rolling Stone<\/em>\u2019s Artists 500 chart<\/a> with an impressive 110.8 million song streams, while Chris Brown<\/a> leapt to Number Two with 110.6 million song streams for the week of June 28th through July 4th.<\/p>\n

Both artists were propelled to the top thanks to their recent collaboration, \u201cNo Guidance,\u201d which garnered 22.5 million streams. Drake\u2019s numbers were further bolstered by his recent single, \u201cMoney In the Grave\u201d (25.7 million streams), as well as the continued success of his beef-squashing collaboration with Meek Mill, \u201cGoing Bad\u201d (8.8 million streams). Brown, meanwhile, jumped from Number 12 to Number 2 on the Artists 500 thanks to \u201cNo Guidance\u201d and three other tracks off his new album, Indigo<\/em>: \u201cDon\u2019t Check on Me\u201d (8.5 million), \u201cIndigo\u201d (5.7 million) and \u201cHeat\u201d featuring Gunna (5 million).<\/p>\n

The Rolling Stone<\/em> Artists 500 chart ranks the most-streamed artists of the week in the United States, taking into account audio streams across an artist\u2019s entire catalog during the tracking period. The chart does not include passive listening such as terrestrial radio or digital radio. The Artists 500 is updated daily, and each week Rolling Stone<\/em> finalizes and publishes an official version of the chart, covering the seven-day period ending with the previous Thursday.<\/p>\n

Brown\u2019s chart leap bumped last week\u2019s Number Two and Three finishers, Billie Eilish<\/a> and Lil Nas X<\/a>, down to the third and fourth spots, respectively. Eilish notched 76 million song streams on the back of When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?<\/em> mainstays \u201cBad Guy\u201d (22.3 million) and \u201cWhen the Party\u2019s Over\u201d (7.9 million) as well as her breakout favorite, \u201cOcean Eyes\u201d (7 million). Lil Nas X, meanwhile, continues to rule with \u201cOld Town Road\u201d (53.7 million), while his 7<\/em> favorite \u201cPanini\u201d racked up an additional 21.1 million streams.<\/p>\n

Post Malone<\/a> once again rounded out the top 5 of the Artists 500 with 56.2 million streams, while the ripple effect of Brown\u2019s big jump meant Khalid, Ariana Grande, Juice WRLD, Youngboy Never Broke Again and Taylor Swift all fell one spot each from last week to cap the Top 10. Outside the Top 10, Chance the Rapper surged to Number 13 with 42.2 million streams after making his two cult classic mixtapes<\/a>, 2012\u2019s 10 Day<\/em> and 2013\u2019s Acid Rap<\/em>, available on all major streaming services for the first time. Lizzo\u2019s slow-burning hit \u201cTruth Hurts\u201d (22.2 million streams) also helped her crack the Top 20 and land at Number 17 with 39.5 million total streams.<\/p>\n
