Who is this more impressive for?

Kanye West, Jamie Foxx, and Tory Lanez have been successful in their own right. There is a longevity discrepancy between the duo of Ye and Jamie compared to Tory. However, there is no denying that Tory is still one of the biggest rappers in the world still. All three gentlemen are even bigger now, as they all have just added another accolade to their resumes.

It was recently discovered that Kanye, Jamie, and Tory all eclipsed the one billion streams mark. This time, at least for Kanye, it is for his 2005 hit, "Gold Digger." Incredibly, according to Chart Masters, the viral song was sitting around 877 million streams on Spotify in March. It truly is astounding that a song that did not explode in the streaming era has gotten to this mark.

Kanye West, Jamie Foxx, and Tory Lanez All Reach The Billion Mark

As for Tory, this is a major accomplishment. Even though he has been going strong for years, he does not have the same global appeal as Kanye. On top of that, the debacle with Megan Thee Stallion could have driven some fans away. However, that was clearly not the case, as his 2021 album Alone At Prom, is now at one billion overall streams. This is also perfect timing, as the Canadian is gearing up to release the deluxe version of it. It adds even more hype to an already great record.
