| Bad Bunny

On April 23, 2026, Spotify released its all-time streaming rankings to mark its 20th anniversary since founding. Taylor Swift was named the most-streamed artist of all time, with Bad Bunny ranked #2 — the only non-English-language artist in the all-time Top 5 (Drake #3, The Weeknd #4, Ariana Grande #5). Bad Bunny's 2022 album Un Verano Sin Ti was confirmed as the most-streamed album in Spotify history. The Weeknd's 'Blinding Lights' was named the most-streamed song of all time. The rankings span Spotify's entire 20-year catalog and were compiled as Spotify now counts approximately 290 million paid subscribers. The milestone cements Bad Bunny's status as the dominant Latin music force in the streaming era — he was Spotify's most-streamed artist of the year a record four times (2020, 2021, 2022, 2025), while Un Verano Sin Ti has surpassed 22 billion streams. The announcement came as Bad Bunny's European leg of the Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour prepares to open May 22 in Barcelona.
