Bad Bunny dethrones Taylor Swift as Spotify's most-streamed artist of 2025

Puerto Rican star Bad Bunny has reclaimed his spot as the world's most-played artist of 2025 on Spotify. 

In its 2025 Spotify Wrapped, which was released on Thursday, the platform revealed that he garnered over 19.8 billion streams.

His acclaimed album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, which pays homage to the island's musical heritage, was also the year's biggest album.

His achievement is ahead of his historic headlining performance at the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show.  

For the last two years, Taylor Swift has dominated the top spot globally.

Bad Bunny held the coveted title for three consecutive years beginning in 2020.

Globally, the most-streamed song title went to Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga for Die with a Smile, which racked up 1.7 billion streams.

This was followed by Billie Eilish’s Birds of a Feather, Bruno Mars and Rose’s APT, Alex Warren’s Ordinary and Bad Bunny’s DtMF.
