Taylor Swift has done it again: For the second year in a row, Swift is Spotify’s top artist, securing 26.6 billion streams globally. Swift was also the top artist in the U.S.
This tortured poet was followed by The Weeknd in second place and Bad Bunny, who was previously Spotify’s top artist three years in a row, in third. Drake came in fourth followed by Billie Eilish, Travis Scott, Pesco Pluma, Kanye West, Ariana Grande and Colombian singer Feid, who rounded out the top 10 global artists of the year.
However, the top songs of the year did not directly match the top artist list.
