Bad Bunny has officially been named Spotify’s leading global artist of the year.
As part of Wednesday’s rollout of Spotify Wrapped, the streaming giant unveiled a full look at how listeners engaged with music throughout the past twelve months.
The Puerto Rican star, who is scheduled to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show in February, was announced as the most-streamed artist worldwide for 2025, collecting more than 19.8 billion plays.
He was followed closely by Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, Drake and Billie Eilish.
This achievement marks the fourth time the Latin powerhouse has earned Spotify’s global streaming crown, after previously leading in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
Bunny, whose real name is Benito Martínez Ocasio, also topped the global albums chart with his 2025 project DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, while his 2022 release Un Verano Sin Ti secured the tenth spot.
The rest of the global top five albums included the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack, Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft, SZA’s SOS Deluxe: Lana and Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n' Sweet. The final three projects arrived in 2024.
On the worldwide songs list, Bunny reached fifth place with DtMF. That chart was led by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’s duet “Die With a Smile,” which crossed 1.7 billion streams, followed by Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather,” Rosé and Mars’s “APT.” and Alex Warren’s “Ordinary.”
The Joe Rogan Experience maintained its status as Spotify’s Global Top Podcast, continuing its six-year streak at the top.
Listening trends shifted across regions. In the U.K., Swift ended the year as the most-streamed artist, while Carpenter’s Short 'n' Sweet and Warren’s Ordinary ranked as the leading album and song.
In the U.S., Swift once again claimed the top artist position, with Bad Bunny landing in fifth. Kendrick Lamar and SZA had the most-played track with “Luther,” and Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem was the year’s most-streamed album.
Beginning Wednesday, Spotify users can access a personalized summary of their own listening habits for the year.
