As Spotify celebrates its 20th anniversary, the streaming service has unveiled its all-time most-streamed artists, albums, songs, podcasts, and audiobooks (so far).

Sharing the lists for the first time, the massively popular streamer – home to a reported 290 million subscribers – has revealed the top 20 of each category.

While the lists reflect a degree of recency bias, as well as the star power of the likes of Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, and The Weeknd, they still showcase the listening habits of subscribers to the most popular streaming service.

Looking at the lists, there aren’t many surprises. The most-streamed artists include Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, Drake, BTS, Ariana Grande, and more, with Eminem and Coldplay as notable figures whose careers started in the ‘90s.

The most-streamed albums list proves the power of Bad Bunny’s fandom, topping the list over records by Ed Sheeran, Olivia Rodrigo, SZA, Post Malone, Arctic Monkeys, Billie Eilish, and others.

The Weeknd gets his #1 on the most-streamed songs list – with Blinding Lights – and he’s in good company: artists including Ed Sheeran, The Neighbourhood, Harry Styles, Lewis Capaldi, Glass Animals, and others making the cut. Two Aussies appear on the list, too: Vance Joy with his 2013 hit, Riptide, and The Kid LAROI on STAY featuring Justin Bieber.

Meanwhile, the most-streamed podcasts list is filled with true crime, interviews, and more, and the most-streamed audiobooks include The Fellowship Of The Ring, The Housemaid, A Game Of Thrones, and more.
