Drake and NBA YoungBoy have been named the top two streaming artists in any genre for 2022.

According to HitsDailyDouble, YoungBoy and the 6 God have compiled the most streams in America through September with over 12 billion combined.

Elsewhere in the Top 10, Hip Hop is well-represented thanks to the late Juice WRLD at No. 6, Kanye West holding steady earning the No. 8 slot with Future and Lil Durk not far behind.

While Drake has dropped an album already this year, NBA YoungBoy is planning on releasing 10 mixtapes by the time 2022 expires. He revealed on Sunday (October 16) that he’s got his sixth project ready to go with an imminent arrival.

Ma’ I Got a Family will feature between 13 and 17 new songs and is set to arrive “this week,” although an exact release date has yet to be announced.
