Spotify users can now view their recap of users' listening habits and year in audio, including their top artists, songs, genres, albums and podcasts.
On Wednesday, the streaming giant unveiled its annual overview of individual listening trends as well as trends from around the world. Users can now access 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's followed by The Weekend, Bad Bunny, Drake and Billie Eilish, in that order. In the U.S., the list looks similar: It's Swift in the top spot, followed by Drake, Zach Bryan, Morgan Wallen and Kanye West.Swift dethroned Puerto Rican reggaetón star Bad Bunny Swift also earned the title of most-streamed album in 2024, with “The Tortured Poets Department.” She's followed by Eilish's “Hit Me Hard and Soft,” Sabrina Carpenter's “Short n' Sweet," Karol G's “Mañana Será Bonito” and Ariana Grande's “eternal sunshine.” All of those titles are new to 2024 with the exception of Karol G's album, which released early last year. In the U.S., there are only slight differences: Swift's album still leads, followed by Wallen's “One Thing At A Time” — released last year. Then it's Carpenter, Noah Kahan's “Stick Season” and Chappell Roan's “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess,” also released in 2023. Carpenter leads the most-streamed songs both in the U.S. and globally this year, with her summertime smash “Espresso.” It earned over 1.6 billion streams. Globally, she's followed by Benson Boone's “Beautiful Things,” Eilish's “Birds of a Feather,” FloyyMenor and Cris MJ's “Gata Only” and Teddy Swims' “Lose Control.” And in the U.S., she's trailed by Kendrick Lamar's “Not Like Us,” Shaboozey's “A Bar Song ”, Post Malone and Morgan Wallen's “I Had Some Help” and Tommy Richman's “Million Dollar Baby.” This year, there are a few new features on Spotify Wrapped. Those include a new data story called “Your Music Evolution,” documenting three distinct musical phases for each user, and a personalized playlist. The individualized"Your Top Artist" feature has changed slightly, too, and now includes “Longest Listening Streak" as well as the familiar “Top Listeners.” That the biggest artists, globally, earned top spots on Spotify Wrapped should come as no surprise — they’re featured prominently across the streaming service, including on its highly influential playlists, in addition to boasting loyal, dedicated fanbases. For independent artists who may appear on an individual listener’s Wrapped, accessing a top spot on the global list would require billions of streams. Streaming now accounts for most of the money generated by the music industry — a whopping 84% in the United States, according to the Recording Industry Association of America, and 67.3% worldwide, according to a 2024 report by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, which tracks global sales. Spotify is the largest platform of all — making up roughly 31% of the total market share — with a reported 626 million users and 246 million subscribers in over 180 markets.
