There’s no doubt about it, 2025 was Bad Bunny‘s year. On Wednesday, Spotify released its annual Spotify Wrapped data, confirming that the Puerto Rican star is the year’s most-streamed artist in the world with 19.8 billion streams.

Bad Bunny dethroned Taylor Swift, who topped the list for two years in a row before 2025. Bad Bunny returns to the top after having the most streams in 2020, 2021, and 2022. Rounding out the Top Five for this year are the Weeknd at Number 3, Drake at Number 4, and Billie Eilish at Number 5. Two international stars, Hindi singer Arijit Singh and música mexicana group Fuerza Régida, round out the Top 10 at ninth and 10th place.

Newly added to Spotify’s Wrapped dataset is a ranking of top albums, which features Benito’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos at the top. The soundtrack for KPop Demon Hunters is in second place, Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft lands in the third spot, SZA’s SOS Deluxe: Lana comes in at Number 4, while Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet takes fifth place.
