Spotify’s Music Editors Reveal Their Picks for the Best Songs of 2024

December 11, 2024

The work of Spotify’s global editorial experts is grounded in a deep understanding of music culture. Our editors are always at the forefront of new trends, working to establish new genre spaces, introduce listeners to emerging artists, and provide context for music fans. And now, as the year comes to a close, Spotify is thrilled to present our Editors’ Picks: Best Songs of 2024—an 85-track, genre-spanning journey through the songs that made us feel, think, and move. 

The playlist builds on our Editors’ Picks: Best Songs of the Year (So Far), a carefully curated playlist of 40 songs that launched in June.

“Our team lives and breathes music, with genre experts across the musical landscape listening to thousands of songs each year,” said John Stein, Spotify’s Head of North American Editorial. “Spotify’s Editors’ Picks: Best Songs of 2024 playlist is our home for the best of the best, the songs we couldn’t stop playing and couldn’t stop talking about this year. We hope you enjoy.”

Songs were hand selected based on their exceptional songwriting, musicality, cultural impact, and distinctiveness. For each pick, our editors asked themselves: Is this song unique or in its own lane in 2024? Has it driven meaningful cultural conversation? Is this a beautiful and undeniably artistic song?

To share that editorial expertise directly with fans, our Editors’ Picks: Best Songs of 2024 playlist comes to life via our Editorial Watch Feed, where listeners will find dynamic on-screen insights and commentary from Spotify’s editors that offer a deeper dive into each song’s artistry and impact. It also features a playlist clip from Sulinna Ong, Spotify’s Global Head of Editorial, Music, introducing the full list.

Revelamos las principales canciones, artistas, podcasts y tendencias de escucha de 2023

November 29, 2023

Musicalmente, este 2023 estuvo definido por el regreso de importantes estrellas pop femeninas, una diversidad sonora que encabezó las listas y una atmósfera musical global que dio lugar a poderosos géneros . Por el lado de los podcasts, los creadores están respondiendo a las tendencias en tiempo real y el público está recurriendo a los podcasts para unirse a conversaciones culturales más amplias. Como siempre, nuestra campaña Spotify Wrapped 2023 refleja estas tendencias, y nuestras listas muestran lo que escucharon este año más de 574 millones de personas en todo el mundo.

Continúa leyendo para obtener más información sobre los artistas, canciones, álbumes y podcasts más populares de 2023, luego echa un vistazo a la experiencia de usuario personalizada de Wrapped que celebra lo que escuchaste este año.

Top de artistas globales de 2023 

Reediciones reinventadas, giras mundiales que baten récords y coloridas pulseras de la amistad: los fanáticos de todo el mundo estarán encantados de ver a  Taylor Swift  como la artista más escuchada de este año, con más de 26,1 mil millones de reproducciones globales desde el 1 de enero. En las 48 horas previas a esta coronación, Spotify reveló 21 piezas de un puzzle con sorpresas relacionadas con  Taylor Swift  en vallas publicitarias desde Sao Paulo hasta Yakarta. Estas pistas culminaron en un video destacado que incluía guiños a su universo, desde peces koi y gatos, hasta sus infames labios rojos. Por tiempo limitado, cuando reproduzcas una de sus canciones en Spotify, verás cómo la barra de progreso cambia y brilla para que coincida con el color de cada una de sus “Eras”.

En segundo lugar quedó la superestrella del reggaetón Bad Bunny, quien también tuvo un año destacado con un nuevo álbum, nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana. Completando los cinco primeros estuvieron The Weeknd, Drake, y Peso Pluma.

Top global de canciones de 2023

La canción más escuchada del año, “Flowers,” de Miley Cyrus, que batió récords, tuvo un impulso increíble desde el día de su debut hasta los meses de verano y ahora cuenta con más de 1.600 millones de reproducciones en todo el mundo. En el segundo y tercer lugar se encuentran  “Kill Bill” de SZA y“As It Was” de Harry Styles. El cuarto y quinto lugar fueron de Jung Kook con“Seven (feat. Latto),” y Eslabon Armado y Peso Pluma con “Ella Baila Sola.”


Top global de álbumes de 2023 

Los oyentes miraron al pasado al elegir qué álbumes reproducir, ya que varios de los cinco álbumes más populares de este año se lanzaron antes de 2023. El álbum más reproducido del año, por segundo año consecutivo, es Un Verano Sin Ti de Bad Bunny, con más de 4.500 millones de escuchas a nivel global, seguido del álbum Midnights de Taylor Swift. SZA ocupa el tercer lugar con SOS. Y en el cuarto y quinto lugar están Starboy de The Weeknd y MAÑANA SERÁ BONITO by KAROL G.

Top global de podcasts de 2023

Spotify es la plataforma de podcasts más utilizada en muchos mercados clave de todo el mundo y también es el editor de podcasts número uno en los EE. UU., según los datos más recientes de Edison Research. Por cuarto año consecutivo The Joe Rogan Experience  se lleva el honor de ser el podcast más reproducido del año a nivel mundial. En segundo lugar y por segundo año, está Call Her Daddy y en tercero Huberman Lab, seguido de anything goes with emma chamberlain y On Purpose with Jay Shetty. Ocho de los 25 podcasts principales en las listas mundiales son podcasts de Propiedad y Licencia de Spotify, y nueve de los 25 podcasts principales en los EE. UU. también lo son.

A lo largo del año, estos podcasts, así como muchos otros, destacaron los principales momentos de la cultura pop, desde la música hasta las películas y la tecnología.

  • Durante la primavera y el verano del hemisferio norte estuvieron llenos de contenidos impulsados por niñas y mujeres. Las combinaciones de la Renaissance Tour de Beyonce, Taylor Swift | El Eras Tour y el éxito de la película Barbie generaron conversaciones culturales en muchos géneros de podcasts sobre economía y entretenimiento.
  • A lo largo del año, el mundo quedó fascinado, frustrado y, a veces, asustado por el aumento de la IA. Los podcasts ofrecieron una visión crítica y matizada de la creciente tendencia tecnológica.

Las tendencias globales que dieron forma a nuestro año

Estos artistas, canciones, álbumes y podcasts más reproducidos no fueron los únicos indicadores para 2023. Las tendencias de la cultura pop también impulsaron los rankings, desde playlists temáticas hasta incrementos altos de reproducciones de canciones.

  • Este año, Eurovisión tuvo un gran impacto, ya que “Tattoo” de la ganadora Loreen y “Cha Cha Cha” del segundo lugar Käärijä alcanzaron el top 10 de la lista diaria global el día después de la final.
  • La Generación Z continúa abrazando la tendencia “sin género” o “género híbrido”, negándose a ser definida por un solo estilo y moviéndose sin problemas entre diferentes  sonidos. También adoptan los estados de ánimo y buscan playlists  y canciones que mejor describan el estado de ánimo o el momento en el que se encuentran.
  • Este año también marcó un aumento significativo en el entusiasmo colombiano por la música mexicana. Colombia emergió como el quinto mayor consumidor de música mexicana en 2023, mostrando un aumento del 85% en su consumo durante el año.
  • El consumo de música instrumental clásica india sigue creciendo en Spotify en la India y en todo el mundo. En los últimos 24 meses, el consumo de música clásica de la India creció cerca de un 500% en Spotify. Además, el 45% de los oyentes de música clásica india en Spotify tienen menos de 25 años.
  • Afrobeats es uno de los géneros de más rápido crecimiento en Spotify, con un crecimiento del 550% desde 2017. En 2023, Rema se convirtió en la primera canción de Afrobeats de un artista en alcanzar mil millones de reproducciones en Spotify.
  • El Mandopop, con artistas destacados como Jay Chou, JJ Lin y Eason Chan, ha registrado más de 500 millones de reproducciones mensuales en todo el mundo, con un crecimiento promedio de casi el 45 % en el último año.

The Top Songs, Artists, Podcasts, and Listening Trends of 2023 Revealed

November 29, 2023

Musically, 2023 was defined by the return of major female pop stars, sonic diversity that topped the charts, and a global music atmosphere that gave rise to powerful genres. On the podcast front, creators are responding to trends in real time, and audiences are turning to podcasts to join larger cultural conversations. As always, our 2023 Spotify Wrapped campaign reflects these trends, and our toplists showcase how over 574 million people around the world listened this year.  

Read on to learn more about the top artists, songs, albums, and podcasts of 2023, then take a look at the personalized Wrapped user experience that celebrates your own year in listening. 

The top global artists of 2023

Reimagined rereleases, record-breaking world tours, and colorful friendship bracelets—fans everywhere will be thrilled to see Taylor Swift as this year’s top artist, with more than 26.1 billion global streams since January 1. In the 48 hours leading up to this crowning moment, Spotify revealed 21 puzzle pieces with Taylor Swift-themed easter eggs in billboards from Sao Paulo to Jakarta. These clues culminated in a spotlight video that included nods to her universe—featuring everything from cats to her infamous red lips. For a limited time, when you play one of her songs on Spotify, watch as the progress bar changes and sparkles to match the song’s era color. 

Taking second place was reggaeton superstar Bad Bunny, who also had a standout year with a new album, nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana. Rounding up the top five were The Weeknd, Drake, and Peso Pluma.

The top global songs of 2023

The top song of the year, Miley Cyrus’s record-breaking “Flowers,” had incredible momentum from the day of its debut through the summer months and now counts more than 1.6 billion streams globally. In the second and third spots are “Kill Bill” by SZA and “As It Was” by Harry Styles. The fourth and fifth spots come from Jung Kook with “Seven (feat. Latto),” and Eslabon Armado and Peso Pluma with “Ella Baila Sola.”

The top global albums of 2023 

Listeners looked to the past in choosing which albums to play, as several of this year’s top-five albums were released prior to 2023. The most-streamed album of the year for the second year in a row was Un Verano Sin Ti by Bad Bunny, with more than 4.5 billion streams globally, followed by Taylor Swift’s album Midnights.

Spotify is the most-used audio podcast platform in many key markets around the world and is also the number-one podcast publisher in the U.S., according to the most recent Edison Research data.

The global trends that shaped our year

These most-streamed artists, songs, albums, and podcasts weren’t the only guideposts to 2023. Pop culture trends also fueled listening, from themed playlists to song spikes. 

  • This year, Eurovision made a huge impact, as “Tattoo” by winner Loreen and “Cha Cha Cha” by runner-up Käärijä both reached the top 10 global daily chart the day after the final. 
  • Gen Z continues to embrace the genreless/genre-hybrid trend, refusing to be defined by only one genre, and instead moving seamlessly between sounds. They also embrace moods, looking for playlists and songs that best describe the mood or moment they’re in.
  • This year also marked a significant surge in Colombian enthusiasm for Mexican music. Colombia emerged as the fifth-largest consumer of Mexican music in 2023, showcasing an 85% increase in its consumption over the year. 
  • The consumption of Indian classical instrumental music continues to grow on Spotify in India and around the world. In the last 24 months, India’s classical music consumption grew by close to 500% on Spotify. Over 45% of Indian classical music listeners on Spotify are under the age of 25. 
  • Afrobeats is one of the fastest-growing genres on Spotify, growing by 550% since 2017 with new audiences emerging in Mexico and India. In 2023, Rema’s “Calm Down” became the first Afrobeats artist-led track to hit a billion streams on Spotify. 
  • Mandopop, with top artists like Jay Chou, JJ Lin, and Eason Chan, has received more than 500 million monthly streams globally, seeing an almost 45% increase in the past year.

What the World Streamed Most in 2021

December 1, 2021

If 2020 was the year that flipped the world on its head, 2021 was the year that we got used to seeing things upside down. With “normal” thrown out the window, people around the world started to embrace the unknown—and in doing so, championed all of the things that make each of us unique. 

Spotify’s 2021 Wrapped celebrates this idea—the millions of weird and wonderful ways to listen and live in a world that continues to keep us on our toes. Today, we unveil the top artists, albums, songs, podcasts, and more that defined how more than 381 million people around the world listened and discovered audio during a year that turned “unprecedented” into, well, precedented.  

As usual, Wrapped helps us reflect on the large role audio played in the lives of our listeners—and how our favorite creators soundtracked the world around us. 

The top artists, songs, and albums globally

For the second year in a row, Puerto Rican Reggaeton star Bad Bunny takes the title of most-streamed artist in the world on Spotify. And what’s more: He’s received over 9.1 billion streams without releasing a new album this year. He is swiftly followed by singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, whose Red (Taylor’s Version) gave old and new fans alike a reason to relive the artist’s early groundbreaking work. Rounding up 2021’s top three is BTS. The globally beloved k-pop group had a standout year thanks to their single “Butter.” Canadian hip-hop artists Drake—who released Certified Lover Boy in September—and Justin Bieber—whose 2021 album Justice featured collaborations with artists from across the globe—take spots four and five, respectively.

The top song of 2021 globally is Olivia Rodrigo’s runaway “drivers license,” which garnered over 1.1 billion streams. Lil Nas X’s viral “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)” dances its way to second place and heralded the artist’s first studio album. The Kid LAROI enters the ranks for the first time, with his Justin Bieber collaboration “STAY” taking third. The fourth spot sees Olivia Rodrigo once again, this time with “good 4 u,” which also earned the title of 2021 Spotify Song of the Summer. The fifth most streamed song to rise in the ranks is Dua Lipa’s “Levitating (feat. DaBaby).” 

When it comes to top albums of 2021 globally, Olivia Rodrigo once again claims the crown—her debut album SOUR clearly held a bit of sweetness. Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia ranks second, with Justin Bieber’s Justice, Ed Sheeran’s =, and Doja Cat’s Planet Her coming in third, fourth, and fifth. 

The top podcasts globally

Coming out of its first full year as a Spotify exclusive, The Joe Rogan Experience remains the number-one podcast on Spotify globally. It is followed by the fearless Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy, which also became exclusive to Spotify in 2021. True crime and news continue to be popular genres within the medium, with Crime Junkie, TED Talks Daily, and The Daily rounding out the list. 

Notable trends of 2021

When we looked at trends on Spotify in 2021, the top songs, artists, albums, and podcasts weren’t the only things we found. We learned about the moments that united listeners—and the ones that were notable for their uniqueness. 

Nostalgia played a role in people’s listening in 2021 as fans rediscovered old favorites—and new generations adopted them as well. Let’s face it: There are certain songs and albums that just sound like home (in a good way).
