R&B superstar R. Kelly is getting the last laugh. New reports claim Kells’ streaming numbers have grown since becoming public enemy number one – again.
According to reports, there has been little immediate negative impact since streaming giant Spotify removing Kells from its playlists.
Streaming numbers for R. Kelly have remained intact a week after Spotify announced it had removed the R&B singer’s music from its playlists, citing its new policy on hate content and hateful conduct. Spotify made the bold declaration on May 10, but R. Kelly’s streaming numbers are relatively the same with some small growth. Before the announcement, he averaged 6,584,000 weekly streams for the year, but from May 10-16, he garnered 6,676,000 streams for the week, according to Nielsen Music. (The Hollywood Reporter)
A few days ago, music executive Steve Stoute shared his personal issues with streaming giants like Spotify not playing fair in banning artists like R. Kelly.
