Bad Bunny is back as Spotify’s #1 global artist for 2025, beating Taylor Swift with 19.8 billion streams.

For the past two years, Taylor Swift has been sitting comfortable on the throne as the world’s most-streamed artist, but 2025 has come with a different story. The Puerto Rican superstar, Bad Bunny, has officially bounced back to reclaim his title as the King of Spotify.

According to the latest figures released in Spotify’s 2025 Wrapped data, the "King of Latin Trap" pulled in a massive 19.8 billion streams globally this year. 

This no be small feat, as he successfully ended Swift’s two-year dominance to take back the number one spot he famously held for three years straight from 2020 to 2022.

While Taylor Swift dropped to second place on the global charts, she is not far behind. She is followed by other heavyweights like The Weeknd, Drake, and Billie Eilish, who rounded up the top five list of most-streamed artists worldwide.

However, the story is a bit different in the United States. Even though Bad Bunny conquered the world stage, Taylor Swift is still the Queen of America. She remained the most-streamed artist in the U.S., showing that her home base is as loyal as ever.

In the U.S. ranking, Swift was followed by Drake and country music star Morgan Wallen. Kendrick Lamar took the fourth spot, while Bad Bunny came in fifth among American listeners.

This news is just the icing on the cake for Bad Bunny, who is having an incredible year. He recently bagged five awards at the Latin Grammy Awards and is already gearing up for one of the biggest performances of his career—headlining the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show.

It is clear that 2025 belongs to Bad Bunny, and his fans are definitely streaming his hits like never before.
