I am really not here for these newbies trying to brag and start a big mess. So a little comparison will not hurt I suppose and will help you see clearer.

Beyoncé released her albums to streaming on 2014 (correct me if I am wrong). To be noted that she uploaded her fifth album BEYONCE on the platform a year post its release. LEMONADE is not on Spotify. It was released in late April following which I fully agree that the interest in her catalogue songs on Spotify might have increased but let me remind that all this happened less that two months ago. So how can you say that 592M on Spotify (representing January 2016 to May 2016) is just "still good" when she has only five albums on Spotify and her latest one is not even there.
Rihanna has seven albums on Spotify, right? This implies that her latest album ANTI is there too and it is a streaming giant. That's why it is still moving 50 SPS weekly with a massive 80% (40K equivalent units) of those coming from streams exclusively. Let me also remind you that it was released in late January 2016. That gives her a big advantage and brings her total to 795M on Spotify.
What would have been Rihanna's total if her latest album would have remained a Tidal exclusive? Would it have been equal to, higher than or (much) lower than 592M even though she would have had at least six other albums on Spotify?
I also hope you know what would Beyoncé's total be like if we import her total streams from Tidal in here to Spotify?
I hope I managed to make you see the clearer picture of this all.

We are NOT acting COOL with streaming. It is just that we are really surprised that our fave is at number five when her latest album is not even on Spotify, which translates into the fact that she is a streaming giant since those five albums releases span over 13 years and the last one was in 2013.
