In the US specifically, Drake was the most streamed artist, followed by T-Swift, the late, great Juice WRLD, Kanye West, and Bad Bunny. Meanwhile, Bad Bunny took the title of the most-streamed artist globally for the second year in a row, with Taylor Swift and BTS trailing right behind in the second and third spots, respectively. Much of the world was drinking the Olivia Rodrigo Kool-Aid this year, with her smash hit “drivers license” cruising straight to the No. Some of the stats shouldn’t come as a surprise. Aside from individual rundowns for each user, the streaming giant also unveiled details about the world’s listening habits in 2021. That rounds up the list of the top artists globally for Spotify Wrapped 2021! Sorry folks, but it looks like your favourite local psych-rock band didn’t make the cut this go around.Christmas Day for music geeks is here: Today (December 1st), Spotify’s 381 million-plus users were gifted with their Spotify Wrapped, a roundup of their most-listened music of the year. With any luck, Justin Bieber and Drake will see more than popularity this year- both of them are up for Grammy Awards.

The Biebs is back, but he never really left, did he? The Canadian superstar’s sixth studio album, Justice, featured some of the biggest names in music and propelled other names into the spotlight. DrakeĪnd finally, we get to some Canadian names! With the release of Certified Lover Boy this year, Drake garnered some serious attention with ( now-settled) bad blood with Kanye West, and one of the most iconic (but not necessarily good) covers in the genre. Moves like Jagger? How about moves like BTS? 4. In fact, the song that really helped them this year, Butter, was also on YouTube’s list of the most watched music videos in Canada. Should we redub k-pop as w-pop (world-pop)? No, that would be silly, but there’s no doubt that this Korean supergroup has become a household name on practically every continent. Drama with exes aside, the album represents a groundbreaking artist taking control of their voice, and we can’t be happier. Taylor SwiftĪfter a saga that honestly could become a movie, Taylor Swift released Red (Taylor’s Version) at the start of November, and quickly shot to the top of the charts. To put it in perspective, he was listened to so much that if everyone in the world listened to a song, there’d still be over a billion plays to go. Although he released no new album this year, Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny claimed the top spot for the second year straight globally. This, folks, is what we refer to as a big flex. But, rather than your friends’ individual tastes, what about what the whole world is listening to? Well folks, we’ve got the info you need, and it might surprise you! 1. The Spotify 2021 Wrapped is out, and that can only mean one thing- you’re about to see so many screenshots on social media that it’s not even funny.
