Pandora has been spending the last year crunching the numbers for a very successful year in hip-hop and R&B. Taking time to compile a list of the Top 100 thumbed up tracks on the streaming platform, Pandora has officially released their “Thumbed Hundreds” playlist.
This year, out of the 5.7 billion thumbed up tracks from Pandora, hip-hop has unmistakably dominated the playlist. Lead by this year’s heavy hitters Drake, Cardi B and Post Malone, hip-hop and R&B artists have claimed over 70 spots on the playlist– including the top 10 positions.
Drake sits at the top of the list, with his No. 1 debut and 8 times platinum track, “God’s Plan.” Released on Jan. 19 as a part of his Scary Hours EP, the track was later placed on the rap star’s double-disc studio album, Scorpion.
Aside from “God’s Plan,” four other tracks off Scorpion also landed a spot on the Top 100, including “Nice For What,” “In My Feelings,” “Nonstop,” and “I’m Upset,” sitting at No. 4, 5, 33 and 45 (respectively).
Trailing behind Drake is Bronx femcee Cardi B, who appears on the list a total of 11 times (as opposed to Drake’s 9). Invasion of Privacy’s “I Like It” with Bad Bunny and J Balvin takes the No. 2 position on the list, followed by Post Malone’s “Psycho” at No. 3.
Pandora’s “Thumbed Hundreds” playlist also includes top tracks from Pepsi Sound Drop artists Ella Mai, Bryce Vine and Khalid, as well as tracks from hip-hops new school artists like BlocBoy JB, Lil Baby, 6ix9ine, Young Boy Never Broke Again and the late XXXtentacion.
