‘Tis the season to unpack Spotify Wrapped. And it should come as no surprise that for a second year in a row, Taylor Swift has been named its most-played artist.
On Wednesday, the streaming giant unveiled its annual overview of individual listening trends as well as trends from around the world. Users can now access their top artists, songs, genres, albums and podcasts, as well as uncover which artists had the biggest year on the platform.
Swift was 2024’s most-streamed artist globally, ranking in more than 26.6 billion streams. She’s followed by The Weekend, Bad Bunny, Drake and Billie Eilish, in that order.
In the U.S., the list looks similar: It’s Swift in the top spot, followed by Drake, Zach Bryan, Morgan Wallen and Kanye West.
