Bad Bunny wins (as usual). Spotify’s “Wrapped” list for the year of 2021 is finally out and it reveals all kinda interesting stats, from the most popular podcasts to the number of playlists made to boost plant growth.
But the real meat and potatoes of Spotify’s results are, as usual, the most-streamed artists and songs.
As you can see from Spotify’s spiffy graphics, Bad Bunny is basically the world’s most popular artist, as far as Spotify is concerned. The Puerto Rican reggaeton savant — who also just happens to be the cover star of Highsnobiety’s latest magazine, HighArt — takes the top spot over Taylor Swift, BTS, Drake, and Justin Bieber.
Things change when you narrow in on the U.S., though, where Drake takes the top spot over T.Swift, Juice WRLD, and Kanye West, with Bad Bunny rounding out the top five.
The Drake and Kanye stats confirm the early streaming numbers recorded for Certified Lover Boy and DONDA earlier this year.
