It's Here: The Top Songs, Artists, Podcasts, and Listening Trends of 2022 — Spotify - spotify.com

This year, Spotify listeners especially took the chance to redefine how they find joy.

From the music that makes us dance to the podcasts that keep us riveted, this is the audio that bubbled to the top of Spotify listeners’ playlists.

Taylor Swift’s Midnights release certainly got the world talking, and she claims the top spot as the most viral artist globally?

Song of the summer 2022 creator Harry Styles takes the coveted honor of having the most-streamed song around the globe with his hit “As It Was.” British indie rock band Glass Animals’ track “Heat Waves” is the second-most-streamed song of 2022, and fans just can’t get enough.

Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti takes the top spot for most-streamed album globally for 2022?

Olivia Rodrigo’s debut album, SOUR, takes the third spot for most-streamed album.

Anything Goes with Emma Chamberlain, a soon-to-be-Spotify Exclusive touching on a variety of topics from the popular American creator, takes the third spot, while Caso 63, a Spotify Original podcast that’s debuted in Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Hindi, and English takes the fourth spot with all its language iteration feeds combined.

These most-streamed artists, songs, albums, and podcasts weren’t the only guideposts that shaped our year.

This year, Spotify fans were all about the aesthetic. 

After two years of pandemic postponement, 2022 was the year for many to finally say, “I do.”
