Spotify Wrapped 2025 announces the year’s biggest artists, songs and albums
Spotify has unveiled its annual Wrapped feature, giving its users insights into their listening habits over the past year. The streaming service has also shared its stats for the biggest artists, albums, songs, podcasts and audiobooks over the past 12 months.
Puerto Rico’s Latin trap megastar Bad Bunny returned to claim his crown as Spotify’s most popular global artist for the fourth time, having previously held the title in 2020, 2021 and 2022. He also had the world’s most listened-to album with his latest release, Debí Tirar Más Fotos.
The news comes ahead of his headline performance at the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, and after he scooped several nominations for next year’s Grammys.
Meanwhile, the biggest song of the year was actually released in 2024: Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’s monster hit “Die With a Smile”, which accrued more than 1.7 billion streams in 2025 alone.
In the UK, Spotify unveiled its Wrapped feature with a film clip featuring the rapper Central Cee, pop stars Lola Young, Olivia Dean and Lewis Capaldi, and the Irish folk-rock band Kingfishr.
Alex Warren’s inescapable single “Ordinary” was the most-streamed song of the year in the UK, beating Gracie Abrams’ “That’s So True” and “Messy” by Lola Young. Taylor Swift took the top spot for the third consecutive year as the UK’s most popular artist, followed by Canadian star Drake and her fellow American singer Sabrina Carpenter.
Carpenter also claimed the biggest album on Spotify in the UK with her seventh studio album, Short n’ Sweet, another Grammy contender for prizes including album of the year. Women once again dominated the top UK albums: just three out of 10 records were by male artists or an ensemble cast of singers.
Along with the biggest music of the year, Spotify shared its most successful podcasts, topped globally for the sixth year running by The Joe Rogan Experience. In the UK, the controversial host took second place, bested only by Steven Bartlett’s podcast The Diary of a CEO, with The Louis Theroux Podcast coming third.
