Taylor Swift has once again made history by claiming the top spot on Spotify’s Global Top Artist list for the second year in a row. The singer-songwriter, who has been a dominant force in the music industry for over a decade, continues to break records and captivate audiences worldwide.
This year, Swift racked up an impressive 26.6 billion streams globally, further cementing her place as one of the most influential artists of her generation. Her achievements don’t end there: she secured three spots on Spotify’s “Most-Streamed Albums Globally” list. Her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, topped the list, while 1989 (Taylor’s Version) and Lover came in at sixth and eighth place, respectively. This widespread success underscores Swift’s ability to consistently release chart-topping albums and songs.
In contrast, Beyoncé, who was recently named Billboard’s greatest pop star of the 21st century, did not make it into the top ten of Spotify’s Global Artist rankings this year. Despite the acclaim surrounding her country music album Cowboy Carter and the hit single “Texas Hold ‘Em,” neither found a spot among the platform’s top-streamed entries.
To celebrate her remarkable success, Spotify awarded Taylor Swift its first-ever Global Top Artist Badge. This honor, which has been added to her Spotify profile, highlights the incredible influence of her fanbase, the Swifties, who continue to support her at every turn.
Swift’s continued dominance on the streaming platform is a testament to her widespread appeal and her ongoing impact on the global music scene. With her fanbase remaining as loyal as ever, Taylor Swift is poised to maintain her position as one of the most-streamed artists in the world for years to come.
