Travis Scott's influence on the music scene continues to expand as he secures the title of the third-most streamed rapper of all time on Spotify, according to recent data from Kworb. 

This achievement places him just behind Eminem and the reigning champion, Drake, who holds the platform's all-time high with 103 billion streams. Scott, now with 49 billion streams, has edged out Kanye West, who currently sits at ten with 48 billion streams.

The surge in streaming numbers for Scott can largely be attributed to the recent Spotify debut of his project 'DAYS BEFORE RODEO,' which arrived on the platform a decade after its original release. 

The re-release has not only been met with enthusiasm but also has the potential to climb to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 due to a recent surge in sales.

Travis Scott's success is not confined to streaming platforms. His recent tour in South America has further solidified his global appeal, ensuring that his fanbase continues to grow. 

With such momentum, it's clear why Scott is not only a major force in rap but also a significant figure in the global music industry.

Beyond his current achievements, Scott hints at more music on the horizon. “I'm already cooking stuff up, and it won't be long before I'm back with another project, album, single... Who knows?” 

This anticipation keeps fans eager for more, as they await the follow-up to his latest album 'UTOPIA.'

As Travis Scott's career propels forward, it will be interesting to see if his next releases will catapult him to become the second-most streamed rapper on Spotify, potentially challenging the current leaders.
