Bad Bunny Returns to No. 1: Spotify Wrapped Confirms 2025
The Weeknd, Drake, Taylor Swift, and other artists dominate the most streamed list, while Bad Bunny tops Spotify’s global rankings for 2025.
The arrival of December can only indicate that it’s time for Spotify customers to receive their annual evaluation, often known as Spotify Wrapped. Oh, and Christmas is rapidly approaching.
In addition to giving each user a unique, personalized summary of their listening habits over the past year, Spotify has announced which artists and songs have been the most popular globally in 2025, even though they have wrapped things up a little early. This is a busy time of year in Spotify-land.
Once more, Bad Bunny is the most streamed musician.
According to Spotify streaming, Bad Bunny is the most popular musician on the planet. He has held this title three times, in 2020, 2021, and 2022.
Prominent right-wing figures reacted negatively when the Puerto Rico-born celebrity was selected to host the Super Bowl in February. The NFL was blasted by White House adviser Corey Lewandowski for choosing an artist who “seems to detest America so much,” and President Donald Trump branded the decision “crazy.”
In defense of the decision, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell referred to Bad Bunny as “one of the most prominent and popular entertainers in the world,” a claim that Spotify data definitely supports.
The Weeknd is also in the running, with Taylor Swift following closely behind.
The Weeknd, a Canadian singer-songwriter, completes the podium, and Taylor Swift, as you might expect, is not far behind the rapper at number two. At four, Drake surpasses fierce competitor Kendrick Lamar, who is six.
The top 50 is completed by well-known figures.
Other well-known names in the top 50 include Linkin Park, ranked 26th, who have recovered from the untimely death of lead singer Chester Bennington by reuniting with new vocalist Emily Armstrong, and Rihanna, ranked 20th despite not having published an album since 2016.
