Would like to see song by song figures?
When it comes to measuring an artist’s popularity on Spotify, there’s often confusion between different metrics. For example, publications like Guinness World Records frequently highlight the artist with the most monthly listeners as the “most streamed” or “most popular” on the platform.
In reality, the most-streamed artists on Spotify are those who have amassed the highest total playcounts, reflecting their cumulative success over time. This distinction is significant because Spotify does not publicly share total stream counts for artists, focusing instead on monthly listeners, a metric that comes with technical limitations .
Spotify also uses a popularity index
Since 2020, this page has provided a clear and updated view of the artists who have generated the most streams on Spotify. With a daily refreshed top 1,000 list, it offers insight into long-term streaming trends rather than short-term fluctuations.
Back in late 2015, EDM artist Kygo made waves
For years, Drake becoming the first artist to achieve 30 billion streams in April 2020, followed by 40 billion in August 2021 and 50 billion in September 2022. By December 2023, his total had surpassed 70 billion.
However, in February 2024, Taylor Swift Ariana Grande
Today’s top three is rounded out by Bad Bunny Taylor Swift Bad Bunny
Among groups, BTS Queen
When it comes to averages, Harry Styles
While Spotify dominates the streaming conversation, it’s important to note that other major platforms, such as Apple Music and Amazon Music, are relevant as well. Yet, they don’t share playcount data publicly.
To bridge this gap, we’ve set up advanced algorithms to estimate comprehensive on-demand audio streams across platforms. These calculations provide a broader view of an artist’s streaming footprint worldwide.
This ranking is a reflection of years of analysis, consistently validated against certified results. It offers fans and industry professionals alike a reliable snapshot of streaming achievements across the globe.

We estimate audio-on-demand (AOD) streams across all major Digital Streaming Platforms (DSPs) to determine the most-streamed artists globally.
This ranking reflects the top artists based on estimated career streams from AOD platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, YouTube Music , and notable regional services like Anghami, Gaana, Joox, Melon, JioSaavn, Boomplay , among others. Radio-style platforms (e.g., iHeartRadio, Pandora) and video platforms are excluded from our data.
Because most DSPs do not publicly share playcounts , and labels themselves only receive consolidated figures several months later , we rely on estimates to deliver a comprehensive view of an artist’s streaming performance.
Our methodology involves:
Analyzing Spotify’s market share in over 100 countries
Assessing each artist’s streaming distribution by market
Factoring in how music genres perform differently across platforms
These elements help us calculate the percentage of an artist’s global streams that come from Spotify . We then extrapolate that percentage to estimate their total AOD streams across all platforms , based on known Spotify figures.
Only leading tracks are included in these calculations. Featured appearances are excluded .
What is this ranking about? What are lead and featured streams? This ranking showcases the top Spotify artists based on streams from tracks listed under their personal page’s Albums , Singles , and Compilations sections. These are combined into what we define as “Lead Streams.” “Appears On” section of an artist’s Spotify page are categorized as “Featured Streams” and do not impact the overall ranking or milestone statistics.

There is an issue with the data. How does it get fixed? Spotify’s database can occasionally be tricky to manage, so while we’ve developed robust controls to ensure accuracy, occasional glitches may still occur.reach out and let us know so we can investigate further.
Are these numbers official? No. Outside of Spotify, most DSPs don’t disclose track playcounts. Even music labels face a delay in accessing complete data.How Do We Estimate Streams? ) and applies a set of data-driven extrapolations to estimate each artist’s total audio streams across all platforms. These estimates form the basis of the rankings displayed.
What if some numbers seem off? People often focus on platforms they know, like Apple Music, especially for urban music popular in English-speaking countries. While Apple Music may outperform Spotify for some artists in the US , it represents only a small fraction of global streaming.Drake and Beyoncé may perform better on US Apple Music than US Spotify, but in Brazil , Spotify holds a dominant market share. Therefore, Beyoncé’s non-Spotify share is smaller than Drake’s due to regional dynamics.Latin and Brazilian artists often rank lower, as Spotify dominates in their regions.Asian artists and global stars with strong performance in Asia may rank higher , thanks to powerful local platforms like Melon, Joox, or Genie.
Why does this data differ from CSPC articles? Both use the same core methodology, but CSPC entries incorporate additional manual data collection from platforms like Genie, AWA, and Anghami . As a result, CSPC figures feature a higher proportion of verified data , though differences from the estimates remain relatively minor.
Why isn’t a certain artist listed? The top of the ranking is comprehensive, but some lower-ranked artists may be missing . You can use our streaming data tool to search for any artist. If they have enough streams, they will automatically appear in the ranking , updated in real time as new data arrives.
