Artists with the Most Spotify Monthly Listeners 2026

About This Dataset
Artists with the Most Spotify Monthly Listeners 2026The race for the most Spotify monthly listeners in 2026 is remarkably tight at the top. Bruno Mars leads with 132.2 million, ahead of Justin Bieber at 126 million, but the field compresses quickly after that. The Weeknd (113.8M), Rihanna (110.5M) and Michael Jackson (106.2M) form a close chasing pack, and six of the ten artists sit within a narrow band between roughly 95 and 106 million. Taylor Swift ranks sixth with 102.2 million despite being among the most commercially dominant artists of the era. The presence of Michael Jackson, decades after his peak, shows the enduring catalog power of legacy superstars competing directly with contemporary hitmakers like Bad Bunny and Ariana Grande for global streaming attention.
