Spotify Users Look Back on Year of Listening Habits
Description
For the second year in a row, Taylor Swift has been named Spotify's most-played artist.
The streaming service has released its annual overview of individual listening trends as well as trends from around the world — called Spotify Wrapped.
Users can now see their top artists, songs, genres, albums and podcasts, as well as uncover which artists had the biggest year on the platform.
Swift was 2024's most-streamed artist globally, ranking in more than 26.6 billion streams. She was followed by The Weeknd, Bad Bunny, Drake and Billie Eilish.
Swift also earned the title of most-streamed album in 2024, with The Tortured Poets Department, while Sabrina Carpenter had the most-streamed song both in the US and globally this year, with her summer hit "Espresso." It was streamed more than 1.6 billion times.
For users who want to look back at their listening habits over the year, there were some new features to explore on Spotify Wrapped.
These include a new data story called "Your Music Evolution," which shows three distinct musical phases for each user, and a personalized playlist based on them.
People like to share their Spotify Wrapped data on social media, although this year some complained that the roundup was missing certain features they'd previously enjoyed.
Streaming now accounts for most of the money generated by the music industry — 84% in the United States, according to the Recording Industry Association of America, and 67.3% around the world, according to a 2024 report by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, which tracks global sales.
Spotify is the largest platform of all with a reported 626 million users and 246 million subscribers.
