Quote from atropos

Does anyone know how much rv has done till now on Spotify?

According to a recent ranking, Red Velvet have 2.1 billion streams in Spotify, making them the #3 most streamed K-pop girl group so far.

I was also curious but the only thing I could find was this tweet that said on May 10th that Red Velvet has gained over 240 million streams this year. So according to RVSpotify account they should have been in the top 10.

Anyways Red Velvet is doing pretty Ok since a year ago they had just 1 billion total streams on Spotify so they have doubled their total streams in the past year.

Yes, I read that one too, that Red Velvet gained 240M streamed this year so far which should have put them in the Top 10 list (then again, it's a Pann/Nate post, which is not much more than a forum just like AKP forum).

Would have been nice to know what RV's total streams were at the end of last year, then it would be easier to compare.

I was asking for 2022 only

Ah, you said 'till now' so I thought you meant 'in total'.

The other poster already answered your question for 2022, apparently it was 240M streams at May 10 according to a RV dedicated twitter channel - but no idea how exactly they compiled the info **

interesting I thought Red Velvet in the top 10 spotify

They should be, I agree. Could be the initial Pann Nate poster made a mistake (or did it on purpose)

** edit: found at least some info.

Red Velvet total streams reached 1.8 billion at Nov 16, 2021.

RV total streams reached 1.9b at Feb 4, 2022.

RV total streams reached 2b at Mar 28.

RV total streams reached 2.1b and over 240M in 2022 at May 10.

Currently they are at 2.175b streams.

Which makes RV total streams for 2022 about nearly 320M so far.
