Most Streamed Artists on Spotify 2025
Music artists ranked by total streams on Spotify in the calendar year 2025 according to Spotify Wrapped 2025 annual data. The Weeknd, Taylor Swift, and Bad Bunny have rotated through the top spots of Spotify's annual most-streamed artist list in recent years — with Bad Bunny's Spanish-language dominance demonstrating that non-English music has achieved genuine global streaming parity, and Taylor Swift's Eras Tour-driven streaming surge in 2023 and 2024 setting records that established a new benchmark for what sustained artist popularity can achieve on streaming platforms.
