In observance of its 20 th anniversary, for the first time, Spotify is revealing the most streamed artists, songs, albums, podcasts and audiobooks in its history.
The lists, citing the top 20 of each category with little additional information, appear below. They are a revealing look at the listening habits of hundreds of millions of people, although obviously myriad other factors beyond popularity are involved: The lists skew heavily toward recent years as Spotify’s subscriber base has grown, and also it is unclear how paid and ad-supported (i.e. free) streaming are factored in.
More lists and data are expected to be revealed in the coming days.
With a reported 290 million subscribers, Spotify is the world’s largest paid streaming service by a wide margin.
