The rankings reveal how global streaming dominance is shaped by multi-platform performance. Artists leading the chart consistently show strong cross-platform presence across Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube, indicating that global success is increasingly driven by diversified digital ecosystems rather than single-platform virality.
