Spotify’s 2025 Wrapped report has crowned Bad Bunny as the most-streamed artist globally and Joe Rogan as the leading podcaster of the year.

Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has claimed the top position as Spotify’s global music sensation for the fourth time in six years, amassing over 19.8 billion streams worldwide. The Puerto Rican artist previously dominated the charts in 2020, 2021, and 2022, according to Spotify.

His album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS,” released in January, has emerged as the most-listened-to album of the year, reinforcing his global appeal.

In a notable highlight for the year, the NFL announced Bad Bunny as the headliner for February’s Super Bowl halftime show. This decision stirred political debate, as Bad Bunny expressed in an interview with i-D magazine that he would not perform in the continental U.S. during his world tour, which started in November and wraps up in July 2026, due to his stance on the Trump administration’s deportation policies.

Completing the list of top five artists are Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, Drake, and Billie Eilish. Taylor Swift, who dropped her “The Life of a Showgirl” album in October, took the title of the most-streamed artist in the U.S., followed by Drake, Morgan Wallen, Kendrick Lamar, and Bad Bunny.

Globally, the top song of the year is Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’s hit “Die with a Smile” — which brought in more than 1.7 billion streams in 2025 alone.

“The Joe Rogan Experience,” meanwhile, topped the podcast charts for the sixth consecutive year. Rogan interviewed multiple politicians this year, including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) and Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D). He also sat down with President Trump for a 3-hour interview last year ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

Rogan’s show was followed by “The Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett,” “The Mel Robbins Podcast”, “Call Her Daddy” with Alex Cooper and “This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von.”

On the topic of audiobooks — a new section for Wrapped in 2025 — the cult fantasy Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros nabbed the top spot globally this year.

Spotify launched its first “Year in Music” campaign in 2015, rebranding the initiative as Wrapped the next year. It includes data compiled from the start of the year until mid-November.
