Ice Spice Faces Steep Decline, 25 Million Spotify Listeners Lost in a Year

Ice Spice Faces Steep Decline, 25 Million Spotify Listeners Lost in a Year

Ice Spice shot to fame with her 2022 hit “Munch,” garnering endorsements from music giants like Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Taylor Swift. These high-profile co-signs catapulted her into the limelight, securing her spots in major projects such as The Barbie Movie. However, as she prepares to release her debut album, Y2K, on July 26th, the New York artist faces significant challenges.

Leading up to the album’s release, Ice Spice has encountered criticism for her singles “Think U The Shit (Fart)” and “Gimmie A Light,” which some fans feel lack the punch of her earlier work. This feedback, coupled with a surprising drop in her Spotify listenership, is causing concern. A tweet recently highlighted that Ice Spice’s monthly Spotify listeners plummeted from 40 million to just over 16 million in the past year—a staggering loss of 25 million listeners.

While it’s common for artists to experience a dip in listenership between album cycles, the fact that Ice Spice has released two singles yet still sees a decline is troubling to some. The upcoming release of Y2K could be a pivotal moment in her career, determining whether she can recapture her audience’s attention and solidify her place in the music industry.
