Genius - Rap Genius Trends: Q2 2015 lyrics

Genius an*lytics provide an insight into which songs and what artists fans are searching for. While an artist may receive heavy radio play and millions of streams, Genius page views offer a fresh metric in a constantly evolving music industry. Below are the lyric driven trends for the second quarter of 2015. Most viewed songs: Q2 2015 The second quarter of 2015 continued hip-hop's great year with over twelve major artists dropping projects this quarter. The only problem is, none of those artist's songs are on the list below. Taking the crown was Wiz Khalifa's chart topping "See You Again" from the Furious 7 Soundtrack. The track has garnered close to 1,900,000 page views since its March 9 release and provides a unique insight into how music is being consumed. In an age where we consume media with such short attention spans, having your song reach as many people as possible feels more important than ever. This sentiment is echoed with songs that go viral. While the relatively unknown T-Wayne dropped his song "Nasty Freestyle" on February 28th, it didn't blow up until Vine's started appearing in April. What if it didn't get picked up on Vine, would we even know who T-Wayne is? Probably not. The even more bizarre "Sausage Rap" - a Vine original, has been searched more this quarter than Fetty Wap's Drake a**isted "My Way (Remix)," bringing a whole new meaning to the saying "fifteen seconds of fame." 1. Wiz Khalifa feat. Charlie Puth - "See You Again" 2. Fetty Wap - "Trap Queen" 3. T-Wayne - "Nasty Freestyle" 4. The Weeknd - "The Hills" 5. Drake - "Know Yourself" 6. Kendrick Lamar - "King Kunta" 7. Fetty Wap - "My Way" 8. Unknown - "Sausage Rap" 9. Big Sean ft. Drake & Kanye West - "Blessings" 10. Fetty Wap feat. Drake - "My Way (Remix)" Most viewed artists: Q2 2015 While at least one artist who released a project this quarter appears below, the same name graces the top of the list for the third time in a row: Drake. Even though the '6 God' doesn't look like he's slowing down anytime soon, Fetty Wap jumped six places from last quarter, knocking off Kanye West at number 3. Without even releasing a project, Fetty Wap's pages have been viewed a combined 4,360,666 times in the last 91 days on Genius. The focus now turns to the third quarter and all eyes are on Fetty Wap. He's had great traction with the few songs he's released, but can he drop a project that can compete with rap's heavy weights? 1. Drake 2. Kendrick Lamar 3. Fetty Wap 4. The Weeknd 5. Kanye West 6. Eminem 7. A$AP Rocky 8. Wiz Khalifa 9. Big Sean 10. J. Cole Which lyrics have you searched for recently, surprised not to see something on the list? Let us know in the comments.
