Kanye West's songs fill the upper reaches of this week's Streaming Songs Chart like a giant herd of wild mustangs galloping across the Wyoming landscape. Or something.
In any case, tracks from the seven-song G.O.O.D./Def Jam set Ye make up the entirety of the Top 5 and seven of the Top 10, because that's as much of the Top 10 as was possible.
What's more, UMG—which enjoys a 72% marketshare overall—has every song in the Top 10, 14 of the Top 15 and 17 of the Top 20. Sony has a 15% share and WMG 13%.
More stats: With a projected 192 million streams, Kanye becomes the seventh-ranked artist for most single-week streams from one album (behind Post Malone, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, J.Cole, Migos and Cardi B). Ye will also score the eighth-biggest first week in total streams and will become the 11th-ranked album for single-week streams. But since he put only seven tracks on Ye, Kanye has a higher per-track average than anybody in this prestigious company, at 27.4m.
What's the top-ranking song that isn't hip-hop? Maroon 5's "Girls Like You" (222/Interscope) at #18 and 11.3m streams, though that track does feature the estimable Cardi.
