Every vault on unreleased.world ranked by the songs you can actually play — counted live, every hour.

“How many unreleased songs does he have?” is the question people ask about every artist with a vault.

Between them, the 408 artists on the site hold 72,154 unreleased songs.

The rest — every artist on the site, with their count — are on the A–Z list of every artist.

The counts are songs you can play here, not everything that exists. Community trackers usually list more — alternate versions, snippets and songs nobody has a file for — and the artist guides give both numbers.

Where the biggest vaults come from

The same few habits show up at the top of the ranking again and again:

  • Decades of work. The Kanye West vault spans every album cycle since before The College Dropout, each with sessions of its own.
  • Recording far more than an album holds. Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug and Juice WRLD each have eras that run to well over a hundred songs.
  • Albums rebuilt before release. Playboi Carti's Whole Lotta Red and Trippie Redd's later albums are filed version by version, so every draft that surfaced has an era of its own.
  • Whole scenes of collectors. The Opium vaults — Destroy Lonely, Ken Carson, Homixide Gang — and neighbours like Yeat and Osamason are documented song by song by the fans who follow them.

The fullest explanation of how one artist ends up with so much unreleased music is the answer to why Playboi Carti has so many unreleased songs, which walks through each cause with his numbers.

Unreleased songs by the numbers: questions and answers

Which rapper has the most unreleased songs?

On unreleased.world, Kanye West, with 6,173 unreleased songs you can stream — ahead of Lil Uzi Vert (2,178) and Ty Dolla $ign (1,692). The ranking is recounted from the catalogue every hour.

How are the unreleased songs counted?

Each number is the songs on unreleased.world you can actually play for that artist — full leaks, and snippets where a snippet is all that exists. Community trackers usually count more, because they also list alternate versions and songs nobody has a file for; the artist guides give both numbers.

Why do some rappers have so many unreleased songs?

Mostly because they record far more than an album can hold, rework albums before release, and leave long gaps between them — the Playboi Carti explainer walks through each reason with the numbers.
