As reported by Instagram blog RapTV on Wednesday (September 18) and confirmed by Kworb, Travis is now the third most-streamed rapper on Spotify with a whopping 49 billion streams.
He comes in just behind Em at No. 2 with 51 billion streams, but both are still a ways behind the most-streamed rapper in the world, Drake, with 103 billion. Ye currently sits at No. 4 with 48 billion, while Future rounds out the top five with 40 billion.
A surge in sales from the commercial release of his 2014 mixtape Days Before Rodeo certainly helped. The effort is set to secure the coveted number one spot on the Billboard 200, four weeks after missing out on the crown in contentious fashion.
The tape narrowly missed out on topping the chart in its first week of release, despite earning over 360,000 equivalent units.
Now it looks set to surge to number one thanks to vinyl copies of the mixtape being shipped out, with Days Before Rodeo on track to move 130,000 equivalent units — including 125,000 in pure sales — in its fourth week, according to HITS Daily Double.
