Billboard announced the income data of the songs of hip-hop brawlers: Kendrick Lamar overwhelming number one

International the rap world has been talked about this year by one thing above all others: a Canadian rapper The dragon and American Kendrick Lamarin a struggle for superiority between.

The two have been teasing each other in their recent songs, where they have proclaimed their own superiority and their careers. A certain kind of slander is part of the genre and maybe partly part of the marketing, but during the year the tensions and accusations between the musicians have grown more and more fierce.

About the dispute between the two has come already a phenomenon in itself. It attracts the public and of course money. Both have published songs during the year, in which they also sneer at the other.

Now an American music magazine Billboard has counted how much the songs released during the duo’s intense year of tinkering have produced. The result is 15 million dollars, i.e. more than 14 million euros.

In sum has calculated the combined streaming, digital sales and publishing earnings of all of the rappers’ new songs released this year — of which there are six.

So who has pulled the longest?

Based on Billboard’s earnings data, Lamar from California. He holds the top spot with two songs, Not Like Us and Like Thatthe first of which has generated $7.6 million and the second $4.6 million.

Next on the list are two songs by Drake – Family Matters and Push Ups – but both fall slightly below a million dollars. The next two spots again go to Lamar (Meet The Grahams and Euphoria).

Spotify Drake has fared better on the most listened to list, as he was the most listened to rapper in the world this year. Lamar was number five.
