Ice Spice Has Officially Reached One BILLION Streams On Spotify

Ice Spice's dominance in the hip hop game cannot be denied this year, and there's some impressive new data to back that up.

The Bronx-born rapper hit 1 billion Spotify streams as of Tuesday ... a fitting honor considering her "Like...?" EP is the top performing hip hop project to drop in 2023.

The EP birthed the gold-selling hits "Munch (Feelin' U)" and "In Ha Mood" and her guest features have been even more successful.

Her "Boy's a Liar Pt. 2" duet with PinkPantheress is now Platinum and "Karma," the remix collab she released with Taylor Swift back in May is still holding strong in the Top 10 of the Hot 100 at #9!!!

Ice has even more opportunities to run up her numbers this week -- she and Nicki Minaj are releasing another track this Friday for the "Barbie" soundtrack that's already huge ... in the controversy department.

As usual, Taylor Swift was right. Ice Spice is the next huge thing. Of course she was big before she did her Karma collab with Taylor a few weeks ago, but I can't get away from her at this point. Her rise to fame is reminding me of Megan Thee Stallion's rise a few years ago, and if that's any indication of success, Ice Spice is in for a wild ride. She owes a ton of her popularity to Tiktok, which I truly think is the most important place on social media right now to become popular. Having a hot trending sound turns you into an overnight success. Especially rap songs - people LOVE to prove they can rap the song, they love to dress up and dance in front of the camera to it. Which will always translating into listening to the whole song, on Spotify, over and over again...until you hit a BILLION streams. The craziest part? She doesn't even have a full album out. A handful of singles and a 7 song EP has gotten her to this point. 

Ice Spice will be featured on a song with Nicki Minaj in the new Barbie movie which is going to blow the roof off the place. I'm excited about it, everyone else is excited, and this is certainly shaping up to be the Summer of Ice Spice.
