Today, your social media has probably been flooded with friends and family posting their most streamed tunes for the year. This is all thanks to Spotify’s 2021 Wrapped Campaign, where users receive a full breakdown of their listening habits and can then share these stats online. The audio-streaming giant also released global figures that included the most-streamed artist, songs and podcasts of the year. And apart from learning your grandma is a huge Snoop Dogg fan, the biggest surprise of the day was who took out the top spot.

Spotify unveiled that over 381 million users across the globe helped create this year’s list. Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny took the gold as the most-streamed artist globally with more than 9.1 billion streams, while Drake was number one in the US. Pop icon Taylor Swift was Australia’s most-streamed artist, even though her latest album Red (Taylor’s version) was only released in November. Olivia Rodrigo’s driver’s license and SOUR claimed both the most-streamed song and album globally. Down Under, the most-streamed track was Heat Waves by British indie rock band Glass Animals. After signing him to an exclusive deal in 2020, Spotify will be pleased to see The Joe Rogan Experience as the number one podcast on the platform across all categories.
