Which artist has 1 billion streams on Spotify?
In this case, the crown goes to Eminem, who released Infinite in November 1996.
It was never a hit single and got almost no play on Top 40 radio. There's even a dispute over the exact title. Yet “It's a Small World,” also known as “It's a Small, Small World” and “It's a Small World (After All),” is very likely the most played song in music history — nearly 50 million times.

A Business Insider report from 2020 found artists earn as little as $0.0033 per stream. The streaming service does not pay per stream, instead using a system that pays artists based on "streamshare." This payment could vary depending on how music is streamed or agreements with licensors, Spotify says.
