Svenska artister genererade nära 2 miljarder kronor från Spotify under 2025

April 27, 2026

När Spotify grundades för 20 år sedan dominerades musikmarknaden av illegal nedladdning. Sedan dess har streaming bidragit till att återupprätta betalningsviljan för musik och lagt grunden för en starkare och mer hållbar musikekonomi. I dag är musikindustrin större och mer framgångsrik än på länge, både i Sverige och globalt.

Under 2025 genererade svenska artister nära 2 miljarder kronor i royalties från Spotify – nära en fördubbling jämfört med 2018. Samtidigt visar årets siffror flera tydliga trender: fler artister når högre utbetalningsnivåer, närmare hälften av royalties till svenska artister genereras av oberoende artister eller bolag, och 66 procent kommer från lyssnare utanför Sverige. Det understryker både bredden i det svenska musiklivet och den starka internationella efterfrågan på svensk musik.

Detta och mer presenteras i årets svenska Loud & Clear-rapport, Spotifys årliga redovisning av royaltyutbetalningar.

Fler artister når högre utbetalningsnivåer

Fler svenska artister än någonsin når de högre utbetalningsnivåerna. Under 2025 genererade 557 svenska artister royalties på över 500 000 kronor från Spotify, en ökning med 5 % jämfört med föregående år. 301 artister genererade över en miljon (+ 3 %) och antalet artister som genererade mer än 5 miljoner kronor under 2025 på plattformen har nästan fördubblats sedan 2019.

Två tredjedelar av intäkterna kommer från utlandet

Svensk musikexport fortsätter att leverera. Hela 66 % av alla royalties som svenska artister genererade på Spotify under 2025 kom från lyssnare utanför Sverige, en liten ökning från 65 % 2024. Musik framförd på svenska växte med 5 % globalt på plattformen under 2025, och med 11 % sedan 2023.

Jämställt i toppskiktet

En annan tydlig trend i årets data är att Sverige utmärker sig globalt när det gäller representation: bland svenska artister som genererar mer än 1 miljon USD på Spotify är över hälften antingen kvinnliga artister eller band med en mix av kön. Sverige rankas som det ledande landet globalt i denna kategori – ett resultat som speglar att svenska kvinnliga artister når internationell framgång på högsta nivå.

Indiescenen svarar för nära hälften av utbetalningarna

Under 2025 genererades närmare hälften (47 %) av alla svenska royalties av oberoende artister eller bolag, ett tecken på att framgång på Spotify inte förutsätter ett stort skivbolag i ryggen.

Streaming står för 94 % av marknaden för inspelad musik

Enligt en färsk rapport från IFPI omsatte den svenska marknaden för inspelad musik drygt 2,3 miljarder kronor under 2025. Streaming dominerar fortsatt den svenska musikmarknaden och står för 94 % av det totala marknadsvärdet.

Spotify är den enda streamingplattform som varje år redovisar hur utbetalningarna ser ut, både globalt och per marknad. Spotifys globala utbetalningar uppgick 2025 till 11 miljarder USD, och sedan lanseringen har bolaget totalt betalat ut närmare 70 miljarder USD till musikindustrin.

Listeners can dive into an expansive mix of local-language favorites and global bestsellers, including the region’s largest English-language catalog available on a consumption-based service.

A commitment to local publishing

The Nordics are home to some of the world’s most passionate audiobook listeners and some of Spotify’s most engaged communities. With Audiobooks in Premium now available in these countries, we’re opening new doors for both local and international authors and publishers to reach more listeners than ever before.

Our approach has already proven impactful. In our English-language markets, audiobook listeners are up 36% year-over-year, with total listening hours up 37%. More than half (52%) of Spotify’s global audiobook audience is between 18 and 34, underscoring how we’re connecting a new generation with the power of storytelling. Leading publishers such as Bloomsbury, HarperCollins, and Lagardère have even credited Spotify with driving double-digit growth in audio sales.

As part of this launch, local authors and publishers will gain access to the Spotify for Authors platform, which offers tools and insights to help them understand their audiences and expand their reach.As we bring audiobooks to more listeners around the world, we’ll continue working hand in hand with local authors and publishers to create a richer, more connected future for storytelling on Spotify.

The Class of 2025 is also pushing the boundaries of what a podcast can be, with many innovating in video, a format that has skyrocketed in popularity since becoming available on Spotify.

May 9, 2025

As excitement builds for the annual Eurovision Song Contest, Spotify data offers a fascinating glimpse into the songs and artists capturing the world’s attention.

Beyond the top contenders, the data also reveals the diverse range of musical styles and languages captivating Eurovision fans. Entries from Italy, the Netherlands, San Marino, and Estonia round out the top 5, showcasing the pan-European appeal of the competition.

Following Nemo’s 2024 triumph with “The Code,” their streams have skyrocketed by more than 1,700% in the past year.

Spotify Teams Up With Swedish Youth Organization Fryshuset To Amplify the Next Generation of Local Artists

February 5, 2025

Investing in the future of music means investing in the next generation of artists. That’s the driving force behind Spotify’s multiyear partnership with Fryshuset, a Swedish nonprofit youth organization. Together, we’re helping young people develop and express themselves through music and culture.

The collaboration kicked off in 2024 with music camps at Fryshuset centers in Gothenburg, Helsingborg, Malmö, and Stockholm, providing more than 100 promising young artists with masterclasses, studio time, and opportunities to create and collaborate. Get a behind-the-scenes look at their creative journeys in the film below.

The result? Fryshuset x Spotify, a playlist of 27 original songs showcasing the talent emerging from these workshops. The tracks recently debuted on Spotify and were celebrated with a release party at our Stockholm headquarters.

“Together with Spotify, we want to give more young people meaningful free time with music and culture,” said Karl Bjurman, project manager at Fryshuset. “The playlist is a tribute to young people’s creativity and an opportunity for them to share their music with a wider audience.”

This initiative comes at a crucial time in Sweden, following cuts to state funding for community arts schools in 2023. Spotify and Fryshuset aim to bridge the gap, providing vital resources and opportunities for young music enthusiasts. Future projects will include more studio sessions, training, and events to support emerging artists.

This partnership builds on Spotify’s ongoing support for youth music programs. Similar initiatives, like our collaborations with Mentivity and Youth Music in the U.K., demonstrate Spotify’s commitment to nurturing young talent and providing access to creative spaces.

Alexander Skarsgård Spotlights Innovative Solutions to Our Planet’s Biggest Challenges on the New Podcast ‘How We Fix This’

June 12, 2024

Our planet is facing some serious issues. And How We Fix This—a new podcast hosted and narrated by Emmy and Golden Globe awarded actor Alexander Skarsgård—offers some serious solutions. Co-produced by non-profit impact ecosystem Norrsken and Spotify, the series will spotlight eight pioneering startups that are building tools to combat some of the world’s most pressing social and environmental challenges.

Over 8 episodes, How We Fix This will explore a significant global dilemma and highlight the innovative approaches startups are taking to address them. The series not only features the founder’s journeys, but also includes insights from leading researchers and experts, including the World Wide Fund for Nature and Stockholm Resilience Centre.

“From Nigerian solar panel rentals and German chocolate made without cocoa to burping cows in Sweden, this project highlights the people out there who are building innovative and awe-inspiring solutions to the world’s greatest challenges,” said Alexander. “I am very excited to introduce these heroes to a global audience.”

We need thousands more like them, and I hope their stories can inspire others to pursue their own ideas for how to positively impact the world.”

The Hives Celebrate 50 Years of Sweden’s Global Music Success With Spotify Singles Cover

May 24, 2024

On April 6, 1974, the Swedish pop quartet ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest with “Waterloo,” a victory that would propel them to dazzling international fame. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic Ocean, Björn Skifs and Blue Swede’s “Hooked on a Feeling” had just become the first single by a Swedish artist to reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the U.S.

As it turns out, that was just the beginning. Today, half a decade later, Sweden is one of the world’s biggest music exporters. To commemorate the outset of the country’s remarkable global success in music, Spotify invited the Swedish rock quintet The Hives to our Stockholm studio to record a Spotify Singles cover of “Hooked on a Feeling,” out now:

Known for their legendary live performances and strict black-and-white dress code, The Hives have been making heavy garage music for more than three decades. As one of the most-streamed Swedish rock bands globally, they’re thrilled to be carrying the storied song into its next chapter.

“I think there’s a synergy effect of Swedish music having made it abroad, and you feel like it’s possible. We can’t make it more perfect than the original is, so we went the other way instead: ruined it but made it sound exciting,” quipped front man Pelle Almqvist.

“Since the iconic year of 1974, when ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest, music from Swedish creators has continued to influence beyond its borders,” said Sophia Olofsson, Music Program Lead at Spotify. “We hear a lot about the Swedish pop wonder, but rock and metal are also two impactful genres for listeners around the world. With this Spotify Singles release, we wanted to celebrate the anniversary of the export of Swedish music while also paying homage to Sweden’s rock talents.”

The original “Hooked on a Feeling” was written by Mark James and performed by American singer B.J. Thomas in 1968. In 1973, Björn Skifs and his Blue Swede band recorded their version, which retained the “ooga-chaka” introduction from an earlier cover by English singer-songwriter Jonathan King.

To date, Blue Swede’s version of the song has racked up more than 670 million streams on Spotify globally. It has continued to gain traction over the years, having been featured in movies like Reservoir Dogs and Guardians of the Galaxy.

A spotlight on Swedish rock

Sweden might be best known for its pop music, but Spotify data shows that rock is also driving the country’s music exports. On our platform, the love for Swedish rock stretches near and far. In the past five years, streams of rock music by Swedish acts have increased by 90% globally, with France, Italy, Mexico, and Australia being the biggest consumers. Over 40% of the consumption comes from listeners aged 18-29.

Stream The Hives’ “Hooked on a Feeling” now, then dive into our Made in Sweden playlist to explore more tracks from Swedish artists.

De viktigaste insikterna från Spotifys årliga Loud & Clear-rapport

May 15, 2024

Med sin årliga royaltyrapport Loud & Clear ökar Spotify transparensen i musikindustrin, så att artister, låtskrivare, fans och hela musikbranschen får en större förståelse för hur streamingekonomin fungerar. Spotify betalar ungefär två tredjedelar av sina musikrelaterade intäkter till rättighetsinnehavare och publishers, och nyligen redovisades att Spotifys globala utbetalningar under 2023 uppgick till över nio miljarder dollar. Men hur såg det ut i Sverige?

Under förra året genererade svenska artister utbetalningar på nästan 1,8 miljarder kronor enbart från Spotify – en ökning med drygt tolv procent jämfört med 2022 och en dubblering jämfört med 2017.

Statistiken visar även att musikbranschen fortsätter att blomstra – på alla nivåer. Under 2023 genererade fler än 500 svenska artister minst 500 000 kronor i royalties bara från Spotify. Antalet artister som når denna nivå har ökat med 70 procent sedan 2017. Dessutom genererade över 280 svenska artister mer än en miljon kronor från plattformen, vilket innebär en ökning med nästan två tredjedelar sedan 2018.

För första gången redovisar Spotify också att oberoende skivbolag och artister genererar nästan hälften av utbetalningarna, i Sverige såväl som globalt.

Sverige är en erkänd musikexportnation, men svenska artister dominerar även på hemmaplan, vilket kraftigt bidrar till ökade intäkter till den svenska musikindustrin. Under 2023 stod inhemska artister bakom 70 procent av alla låtar som tog sig in på den dagliga Topp 50-listan.

Spotifys rekordutbetalningar

Svenska artister genererade under 2023 större utbetalningar än någonsin tidigare, vilket bidrar till att den svenska musikbranschen växer.

Ett rekordår för indiebolag och indieartister

Fler artister väljer att publicera sin egen musik på Spotify vilket ledde till att de oberoende skivbolagens andel av utbetalningarna förra året uppgick till nästan 50 procent.

Fler artister genererar stora utbetalningar

Spotifys utbetalningar hjälper såväl etablerade som aspirerande artister att utveckla sina karriärer och nå sina fans.

Så fungerar Spotifys royaltyutbetalningar:

Spotify betalar ut ungefär två tredjedelar av sina musikrelaterade intäkter till rättighetsinnehavare och publishers, som i sin tur betalar artister och låtskrivare baserat på deras enskilda kontrakt.
Utbetalningar från Spotify utgör endast en del av intäkterna för skivbolag, låtskrivare och artister; övriga källor inkluderar bland annat utbetalningar från andra streamingtjänster, skivförsäljning, försäljning av merchandise och biljetter till konserter.
