Spotify Wrapped 2023: Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, Miley Cyrus lead stats
The Spotify Wrapped 2023 stats are here and Swifties have a reason to rejoice. Taylor Swift has dethroned Bad Bunny as the most-streamed artist of the year with a staggering 26.1 billion streams worldwide.
However, the Puerto Rican reggaetón music icon has taken the highest spot in the top album category with Un Verano Sin Ti (2022). On the other hand, Miley Cyrus’ hit track “Flowers” dominated the top songs list after garnering 16.1 streams globally.
Here are all the details of the Spotify Wrapped 2023
Who are the top 10 artists globally?
Taylor Swift is a major force in the music industry today and her listeners have proven their loyalty towards her once again. The success of Midnights (2022), Speak Now (Taylor’s version) (2023) and 1989 (Taylor’s version) (2023) have become pivotal factors behind her sky-high Spotify Wrapped stats, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
Swift’s milestone became more significant as she broke Bad Bunny’s three-year streak at the coveted spot as the top artist on Spotify.
“Um ok this is unreal?? I just wanted to say to anyone who listened to my music this year, anywhere in the world, thank you. Getting named Spotify’s Global Top Artist in 2023 is truly the best birthday/holiday gift you could’ve given me,” wrote Swift on social media.
