The All-Time Artist Crown Has Two Claimants

For its 20th anniversary (April 2026), Spotify officially named Taylor Swift its most-streamed artist ever at 120B+ streams — yet all-credits trackers like kworb still put Drake on top at ~137B.

The top 3

  1. Taylor Swift: Spotify's Official No. 1 of All Time: Spotify's own 20th-anniversary all-time list crowns Swift with more than 120 billion career streams — she was also the first artist past 100 billion, crossing that line in March 2025.
  2. Drake: The Tracker King at ~137 Billion: Count every credit (features included) and Drake still leads at roughly 137B streams on kworb — and his triple-album 'Iceman' drop made him 2026's most-streamed artist in a single day.
  3. Bad Bunny: Four Wrapped Crowns, No One Else Has More Than Two... of His Kind: Bad Bunny is the first artist ever to finish as Spotify Wrapped's global No. 1 four times (2020, 2021, 2022, 2025), adding 19.8 billion streams in 2025 alone.
