As the year comes down to its final days, streaming services and media outlets will begin releasing their annual end-of-the-year lists. For example, Spotify unveiled the top artists, albums, songs, podcasts, and playlists on the platform.

The year’s most popular Spotify editorial playlist is Today’s Top Hits with more than 27 million followers. Puerto Rican performer Bad Bunny was named Spotify’s most-streamed global artist of 2020. He was followed by Drake, J Balvin, Juice WRLD, and The Weeknd. Bad Bunny also had the most-streamed global album (YHLQMDLG).

The Weeknd’s After Hours was the second-most streamed album. His smash record “Blinding Lights” led the list of most-streamed songs globally. Roddy Ricch’s “The Box” came in third which was followed by SAINt JHN and Imanbek’s “Roses – Imanbek Remix” at #4.

Billie Eilish was Spotify’s most-streamed global female artist for the year. The rest of the top five included Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa, and Halsey. Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia was the fifth most-streamed album around the world.

When it comes to streaming totals in the United States, Hip Hop acts controlled the top three spots on the list of most-streamed artists. Juice WRLD, Drake, Lil Uzi Vert, Post Malone, and Taylor Swift topped that tally. Megan Thee Stallion was the fifth most-streamed female artist in America.
