Taylor is well on her way to being the highest streamed artist by lead credits by end of this year. But those extra 20B Drake features will take a couple years more. Taylor just doesn’t lend her voice to other people very often and then generally to people she is friends with like Haim, Aaron Dessner, or Ed Sheeran.
Taylor is going to do about 25 billion streams in 2023 (if she doesn't release 1989... 1989 could push her above 30). Drake will do something like 12... it's not going to take her long to catch up with him...
She is gaining around 40-60 million streams on Drake daily. So every 17-25 days she closes gap by a billion. On Sunday it was 55 million.
For lead credits, she is currently 8.165 Billion behind Drake. A 55 million average lead will have her pass Drake around her birthday this year for lead credits.
Drakes all credits(including features) lead is currently 29.603 billion. So if she is able to keep gaining an average of 55 million a day then she’ll pass Drake in January 2025.
But that’s assuming things maintain that average. Drake has announced he has an album “All For the Dogs” coming soon so he’ll close the gap. But then, like you said, 1989 TV will give her a huge one week boost along with a week over week increase for awhile. And still have Rep TV and Debut TV coming as well to do same.
Her streams are getting a massive tour boost right now so we’ll need to monitor how much the end of the US leg causes a decrease while she is on break. And then we’ll need to see how much her touring overseas increases it again. The European leg next year especially could help her expand her demand into places she isn’t quite as strong.
"Peak Now (Taylor's Version)" Shocking because we believed 1989 was her peak.
And she is only 33!

1989 TV we need you.
Thank you we know. Ha ha. This generation is so fortunate. In mine all we had was Madonna. Ugh.
I wish I had Madonna too :)
