To highlight Spotify’s top artists and tracks, the team at TradingPlatforms aggregated Kworb and Spotify all-time weekly chart data from 73 countries and estimated revenue by multiplying streams by $0.004 (the midpoint of Spotify’s $0.003–$0.005 payout).

Data shows that Tate McRae is not only undeniably viral, but her commercial weight is now impossible to ignore. Her catalogue has generated an estimated $62.2 million in revenue from 16.56 billion Spotify streams across the 125 tracks available on the platform. For comparison, P!nk has 15.15 billion streams, Hozier 15.44 billion, and even Britney Spears stands at 14.38 billion. McRae, remarkably early in her career, is already outperforming artists with decades of chart history behind them.
Here are a few key takeaways from the report:
Tate McRae currently has 125 tracks on Spotify, spanning remixes, sped-up edits, live performances and official releases, and together they have amassed 15.55 billion streams. That streaming power translates into an estimated $62.2 million in streaming revenue, placing McRae ahead of long-established stars such as Ellie Goulding, P!nk, James Arthur, Hozier, AC/DC and even Britney Spears. McRae’s biggest streaming force is the song ‘Greedy’, which has become a modern pop phenomenon. It is now the 43rd most-streamed song in Spotify history, with 2 billion plays to date, an impressive figure for a track released in 2023. Those streams equate to an estimated $8 million in Spotify revenue. Beyond its commercial success, ‘greedy’ also ignited a viral moment across TikTok and Reels, propelling McRae into global pop stardom. ’Sports Car’, on the other hand, is now the 13th most-streamed track from 2025, with more than 614 million streams and $2.5 million in earnings.
Three of McRae’s tracks have now surpassed half a billion streams, including ‘Greedy’, ‘You Broke Me First’ and ‘10:35’. Her breakthrough hit, ‘You Broke Me First’, continues to be a streaming powerhouse, amassing 1.89 billion plays and generating an estimated $7.5 million in Spotify revenue, reflecting its enduring global appeal years after release. Her film and soundtrack placements have also proven lucrative. ‘Just Keep Watching’ from F1: The Movie, the track that earned her first Grammy nomination, has already surpassed 426 million streams, generating more than $1.7 million in estimated Spotify royalties, and highlighting McRae’s growing footprint in major media franchises.
Released in September 2025, the song ‘Tit For Tat’ has already surpassed 145 million streams, generating an estimated $581,666 in Spotify revenue, and underlining McRae’s ability to debut new material at the top tier immediately. The track has also received high-profile recognition: during a late‑2025 talk-show appearance, global superstar Taylor Swift revealed she had ‘Tit For Tat’ on repeat, boosting McRae’s visibility and lending the song a powerful cultural endorsement. ‘With a knack for turning heartbreak, attitude, and clever storytelling into global hits, McRae is shaping the soundtrack of a generation. She doesn’t just ride trends, she sets them, turning viral TikTok moments, chart-topping singles, and Grammy-nominated tracks into cultural touchstones. Her catalogue is deep, her streams are massive, and her visibility across social and traditional media is relentless, giving her an unusually strong foundation for lasting influence. If this momentum continues, McRae is poised not just to dominate streaming charts, but to become one of the most trend-defining and unstoppable voices in global pop for years to come.’ - comments Stanislava Savisheva, data analyst at Tradingplatforms.
