On Wednesday, Spotify—in keeping with its annual tradition—unveiled the platform’s top artists (and songs and albums) of the year. Bad Bunny takes the No. 1 spot on the ranking of the most-streamed artists globally, while Drake is at the top among the most-streamed artists in the U.S. Taylor Swift, Juice WRLD, Kanye West, and Bad Bunny round out the top 5 for the U.S. ranking.
As for songs, Olivia Rodrigo’s breakout hit “drivers license” was the most-streamed track in the U.S. and worldwide. The U.S. ranking sees another Rodrigo hit, “good 4 u,” coming in at No. 2 while the global ranking sees Lil Nas X’s “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” in that position ahead of tracks from the Kid LAROI, Rodrigo, and Dua Lipa.
The streaming platform, which also launched the 2021 edition of its personalized Wrapped campaign on Wednesday, even broke down the year’s listening activity into a number of themed reveals, including data on UAP-related playlists and the most-streamed classics from decades gone by.
