Bad Bunny is Spotifys most-streamed artist in the world again
Maybe
the year of the rabbit came early – Bad
Bunny was Spotify’s most-streamed artist worldwide in 2022, his
third year in a row.
The Puerto
Rican superstar once again dominated Spotify
Wrapped, the streaming service’s yearly roundup of the artists and
songs its users spent the year listening to. Also in the worldwide top five
artists of the year are the unsinkable Taylor
Swift, multi-hyphenate The Weeknd and
K-Pop icons BTS.
Bad Bunny
was already a star, but this year proved to be a blockbuster for the “Moscow
Mule” singer. His smash-hit album “Un Verano Sin Ti,” which has since been nominated
for album of the year at the upcoming Grammys, was also
Spotify’s most-streamed album worldwide this year.
To
honor Bad Bunny’s achievement, Spotify said it would turn its heart icon into
the design seen on the album art for “Un Verano Sin Ti,” a version of which
appeared as a balloon in
the Macy’s
Thanksgiving Day Parade this year.
In the US, Drake came
out on top as the most-streamed artist of the year, followed by Swift. Kanye
West, who’s been widely criticized for
making multiple antisemitic comments over
the last several weeks, also appeared in the top five.
Don’t worry,
Directioners – former boy bander Harry
Styles earned a top spot this year, too. His single “As It
Was” from the Grammy-nominated
album “Harry’s House” was the most-streamed song of the year
worldwide. Naturally, Bad Bunny’s songs also appeared in the worldwide top five
tracks, with the singles “Me Porto Bonito” and “Tití Me Preguntó” clocking in
at fourth and fifth, respectively.
Indie
crooner-turned-TikTok darling Steve Lacy made his first appearance in the
Spotify Wrapped rankings this year, with his ubiquitous song “Bad Habit” being
the third most-streamed song in the US. Also present were Glass Animals and
rapper Jack Harlow, whose songs “Heat Waves” and “First Class” first gained
traction online.
