The most-streamed album on Spotify from 2014 to 2023. Stream figures come from Spotify, Complex, Wikipedia, and Visual Capitalist estimates*
The 2015 streams figure for The Weeknd’s Beauty Behind The Madness is a Visual Capitalist estimate based on streaming figures as of January 2016 for the album’s title track “Can’t Feel My Face.”
The estimate of the album’s streams in 2015 assumes that title track “Can’t Feel My Face” accounted for 30% of total streams–which is typical for hit singles–scaling the 448 million streams it reached by early 2016 by this ratio to estimate 1.5 billion total streams. Adjusting for the album’s August 2015 release, which it means it only had 5 months to accumulate streams during that year, the streams are revised downward by 90% of the total, yielding an approximate estimate of 1.4 billion streams for 2015.
