Bad Bunny Reclaims Spotify Crown From Taylor Swift

Bad Bunny has reclaimed the title of Spotify's most-streamed artist worldwide for 2025, accumulating an impressive 19.8 billion streams. This marks his return to the top of the global charts after a two-year hiatus, having previously held the position from 2020 to 2022. His 2025 reign saw him dethrone Taylor Swift, who had held the top spot for the previous two years.

While Bad Bunny led the global streaming numbers, Taylor Swift proved dominant within the United States. She was the most-streamed artist domestically, outranking Drake, Morgan Wallen, Kendrick Lamar, and Bad Bunny himself. The Weeknd, Drake, and Billie Eilish rounded out the top global streaming artists behind Bad Bunny and Swift.

This latest recognition comes shortly after a triumphant night for Bad Bunny at the Latin Grammy Awards. He was honored with five awards, further solidifying his status as a leading figure in the music industry. His continued success across different platforms and prestigious award ceremonies underscores his significant global appeal and influence.
