RE: RWNJ's epic freakout over Bad Bunny doing the Super Bowl. He's arguably #1 all-time on Spotify [View all]
As of September 2025, the top 10 most streamed artists of all time on Spotify (by total career streams) are:
Taylor Swift – ~110.7 billion streams
Drake – ~109 billion streams
Bad Bunny – ~100 billion streams
The Weeknd – ~85 billion streams
Justin Bieber – ~68 billion streams
Ed Sheeran – ~63 billion streams
Ariana Grande – ~61 billion streams
Eminem – ~58 billion streams
BTS – ~55 billion streams (widely cited; some variation sources)
Post Malone – ~54 billion streams (widely cited; some variation sources)
Taylor Swift – ~110.7 billion streams
Drake – ~109 billion streams
Bad Bunny – ~100 billion streams
The Weeknd – ~85 billion streams
Justin Bieber – ~68 billion streams
Ed Sheeran – ~63 billion streams
Ariana Grande – ~61 billion streams
Eminem – ~58 billion streams
BTS – ~55 billion streams (widely cited; some variation sources)
Post Malone – ~54 billion streams (widely cited; some variation sources)
And remember Taylor has been a huge star since before Spotify was even a thing. Drake's first album was 2010. The Weeknd's was 2012.
Bad Bunny's first album was xmas-eve, 2018.
If you average for 'years active' Bad Bunny is the #1 artist on Spotify by a considerable margin.
