Kendrick Lamar Passes Eminem To Take Monthly Listener Crown

Kendrick Lamar didn't get to have a number-one album for very long, as big bully Taylor Swift put out another album variant and knocked GNX out of the top spot after only a week.

But he did just snag another top spot.

Kendrick is now the rapper with the most monthly listeners on Spotify, edging ahead of Eminem and Drake.
