Taylor Swift has been crowned Spotify\u2019s most-streamed artist of all time, ahead of Bad Bunny, as the streaming giant marks 20 years.<\/p>\n

Spotify unveiled its first-ever all-time rankings on Thursday, covering the most-streamed artists, albums, songs, podcasts and audiobooks in the platform\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

Swift tops the artists list, with Bad Bunny in second place. Drake is third, followed by The Weeknd and Ariana Grande.<\/p>\n

\"Bad
\nBad Bunny is the second most-streamed artist of all time on Spotify<\/p>\n

The latest accolade comes after another huge run for the 36-year-old singer. Her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, topped the UK and Irish album charts and was later named the biggest-selling album globally in 2025 by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Swift scored a UK number one with Opalite following the release of its celebrity-filled music video. The clip featured cameos from fellow guests from an episode of The Graham Norton Show, including Graham Norton, Domhnall Gleeson, Cillian Murphy, Lewis Capaldi and Jodie Turner-Smith.<\/a><\/p>\n
