Energetic Streamer IShowSpeed Takes Down YouTube Rival KSI on Spotify With Growing Monthly Listeners

IShowSpeed already proved himself as one of the best rising streamers after winning the “Breakout Streamer” at the Streamy Awards 2022. The young YouTuber is now making a mark in music, especially during the ongoing FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

Darren Watkins Jr., popularly known as IShowSpeed, is a young YouTube streamer. He is famous for his hot-headed and energetic personality. He is among the fastest-growing streamers and gets hundreds and thousands of views on his videos.

But aside from live streaming, he has also ventured into music. So far, he has released many songs, but his limited discography is getting him a lot of attention from fans.

IShowSpeed defeats KSI on Spotify

The YouTube streamer released a new song called “World Cup” because of the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Qatar. The new song from IShowSpeed received over 44 million views on YouTube and 21 million streams on Spotify. Speed’s World Cup song has more views than the official FIFA World Cup song.

But IShowSpeed’s YouTube rival KSI has been making music for a long time. The Englishman made his music debut in 2015 with the song “Lamborghini”. Since then, he has released many hit songs that have received millions of views. Further, KSI has been on many musical tours too.

Looking at the musical feats, many might think that KSI has the upper hand in this field. But that’s not the case because KSI only has over 4 million monthly listeners, while IShowSpeed has over 6 million monthly listeners on Spotify. The young streamer possibly got this boost thanks to the success of his “World Cup” song.

Alphonso Davies likes IShowSpeed’s song

IShowSpeed’s latest “World Cup” song is impressing many soccer fans, and one of those is none other than the Canadian full-back Alphonso Davies. He is among the top full-back soccer players in the world. He currently plays for the Canadian national team and the German giants, Bayern Munich.

But aside from soccer, Davies is also a Twitch streamer. He mostly does Just Chatting or FIFA 23 live streams. In his last live stream, the 22-year-old reacted to Speed’s World Cup song. Davies couldn’t help himself from not laughing at Speed pronouncing countries’ names wrong. But the song was catchy, and soon Davies started vibing to it.
