Taylor Swift is Spotify’s top artist of 2023, surpassing Bad Bunny

2023 really is Taylor Swift’s year.

In news that should surprise no one, Swift — who this week hit $250 million at the global box office for the filmed version of her Eras concert tour — will close out the year as Spotify’s most-streamed artist worldwide, beating out three-timer Bad Bunny for the top slot.

Spotify said Swift generated 26.1 billion streams since January, with album releases including “Midnights,” “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” and “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” helping to propel massive listenership throughout the year.

Swift’s latest win comes as part of the Stockholm-based audio company’s annual Spotify Wrapped marketing blitz, which combs through listening data to determine users’ top artists and podcasts. The campaign, which rolled out globally on Wednesday, has also become fodder for self-deprecating jokes on social media as listeners draw conclusions based on their year in listening history.

Repeat artists appearing on the top global list include the Weeknd and Drake, who were joined by breakout stars such as Peso Pluma, Feid and Karol G. On the top podcasts list, Joe Rogan, Alex Cooper, Andrew Huberman, Emma Chamberlain and Jay Shetty reigned supreme.
