Top Spotify albums – Methodology
This page provides you with up to date lists of the most streamed studio albums, per year, per decade and of all-time, on Spotify.
Singles that have been issued before the start of the selected period are thus included in full.
In case several versions of the same album exist, the one with the highest total of streams is displayed.
The column EAS stands for Equivalent Album Sales. It reflects the worth of these audio streams on par with album units. This data extrapolates remaining streaming platforms.
The global ranking (g#) is comprehensive for albums over the 500 million mark. Below this number, albums listed are top recent albums or top streamers from local markets, for them the global ranking is meaningless.

Hi Gabriel!
There are a bit more than 500 albums at 1b+, so our tracking does not cover a top 1000 so far. I did expand the list to a top 500 yet 🙂
Brilliant!
Beyoncé‘s BDay just cracked the billion mark!
Hi MJD! That’s great!

Great to see something automatic and less manual 🙂
Yup, scripts can really be incredibly useful! Your work will be used to complete the earlier years too 🙂
can you include DSAM expanded

Please, where is Love Yourself Answer from BTS?
Hi, could you add Charlotte Lawrence’s ‘Charlotte’ and ZAYN’s ‘Nobody is Listening’ in 2021?
Hi Logo!
Zayn has been added to the database, he will appear on tonight’s update. For Charlotte though, the album remains too low so far, we only list contenders for the year end top 100 chart.
Where is Katy Perry- Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection?
It’s updated, new songs will be added on the next update!
could you eventually add Love Yourself: Answer by BTS in 2018? They put it in the Compilation section a while ago for some reason but it’s very much an Album, comparable to I guess deluxe editions? btw I love these yearly lists thank you so much!
Hi twt!
The issue with Answer is that it merges songs from 2 albums (on top of adding new ones). It includes 3 lead singles, so it’s natural that it is considered a compilation really. The Weeknd’s Trilogy for example is excluded for the same reason, so are reissues which include a second disc with hits from the previous era (quite a few albums have this situation).
Map of the Soul 7 also has songs from Map of the soul: persona. I don’t see a reason to exclude Ly: answer, since It has many new songs. It has songs from previous albums because It’s part of an era
Reissue : a complete album reissued with some new songs (or not) Compilation : a package merging songs from several previously released albums with some new songs (or not) 7 and Answer are of completely different nature. At best the debatable part is the inclusion of Persona, we had it early in our files even before the release of 7 but in truth it shouldn’t be there as soon as we consider 7 its reissue. If you would like to be consistent and to see Answer included, then it would mean you consider it the reissue of the LY era… Read more »
Where is Eminem “Music to be murdered by”?
Hi Edoardo98!
I’m still not too sure why, but some albums fail to save correctly some days, it mostly happens to Pop Smoke blockbuster and Em’s Music to be Murdered By. Most of the time we notice it and re-save so that they are there, here as we were working on remaining years this was missed. In these cases the album reappear the following day. As you pointed it out and new Spotify daily streams aren’t updated to today I’ve now added back yesterday’s numbers to it.
Hi guys!
Just wondering, is the breakdown block in these lists really usefull, or does it overweight the pages unnecessarily?
You could just do the most streamed albums of all time list and it would be easier, even for you, and just write release year next to it
Hi mtkl!
The top all-time list is getting prepared, hopefully out today. It isn’t a replacement to annual lists though, that would be a top 50/100 at most, while annual lists cover 500+ albums so far and more ultimately. Also it’s better to compare albums to their contemporary, it gives a better perspective of how big they are for their era!
wow nice. I just don’t know you do it. Congrats..
