The ranking
Methodology
- Source. Monthly listener counts are read from the official Spotify Web API artist endpoint, using the Spotify artist ID stored against each artist in our database. No figure is estimated, modelled or rounded.
- Matching. Every artist is matched to an official Spotify artist profile by hand before publication. Artists we cannot match to an official profile are unpublished rather than guessed at.
- Inclusion. The directory covers Brazilian funk and its subgenres — funk carioca, funk ostentação, mandelão, automotivo, brega funk, funk melody and proibidão. Artists below 100,000 monthly listeners are not carried.
- Refresh. The table is built from live database values at page load and the counts are re-synced from Spotify on a rolling basis, so the ranking on this page reflects the latest sync rather than a frozen snapshot. The retrieval date above shows when you loaded it.
- Known limits. Spotify monthly listeners measure one platform only, are reported by Spotify on its own schedule, and do not capture YouTube, TikTok or baile audiences — which for funk are substantial. Treat the ranking as a Spotify ranking, not a total-popularity ranking.

Questions about the data
- Who is the most streamed Brazilian funk artist?
- The ranking on this page is rebuilt from Spotify monthly listeners each time the page loads, so the artist at position one is the current leader in our directory rather than a figure fixed at publication.
- Where does the monthly listener data come from?
- Every figure is read from the official Spotify Web API artist endpoint for the Spotify artist ID stored against that artist in our directory. We do not estimate, model or adjust the numbers.
- Can I cite or reuse this ranking?
- Yes. The dataset is free to cite and republish with attribution to BrazilianFunk.com and a link back to this page. A CSV export of the full ranking is published at the link above for verification.
- Which artists are included?
- Published artists in the BrazilianFunk.com directory whose catalogue is Brazilian funk or one of its subgenres, and who have a verified official Spotify profile. Artists below 100,000 monthly listeners are not carried in the directory.
