Overview
- Spotify, which released the rankings Thursday to mark its 20th anniversary, put Taylor Swift at No. 1 on its all‑time most‑streamed artists list.
- Bad Bunny ranks second among artists and leads albums with Un Verano Sin Ti, while The Weeknd’s Blinding Lights is the most‑streamed song.
- The Joe Rogan Experience is the top podcast of all time on Spotify, and Sarah J. Maas’s A Court of Thorns and Roses is the most‑streamed Premium audiobook.
- Spotify says the lists reflect global plays through April 2026, and the Associated Press reported the company declined to share detailed counting rules or methodology.
- The rankings carry weight because Spotify reports 751 million users and 290 million subscribers worldwide, and streaming makes up about 82% of U.S. recorded‑music revenue.
