MANILA, Philippines — Streaming platform Spotify just released its much-anticipated Wrapped lists for the year 2025 and the most-streamed artist is a familiar name — Benito.
Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is Spotify's top artist this year — a title he held from 2020 to 2022 — accumulating more than 19.8 billion streams in 2025.
The top artist of the past two years Taylor Swift settled for second spot (though she is the top artist in the United States). The Weeknd, Drake and Billie Eilish complete the Top 5 artists globally.
Filipino-American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars landed at No. 7 behind Kendrick Lamar and ahead of Ariana Grande, Indian singer Arijit Singh, and Música Mexicana band Fuerza Regida.
Bad Bunny also topped the most-streamed album list with his "Debí Tirar Más Fotos," fending off competition from the official soundtrack of Netflix's "KPop Demon Hunters," as his 2022 album "Un Verano Sin Ti" capped off the Top 10.
Wrapping up the Top 5 most-streamed albums were Billie's "Hit Me Hard and Soft," SZA's "SOS Deluxe: LANA," and Sabrina Carpenter's "Short n' Sweet." Billie and Sabrina's albums figured in last year's Top 5 as well.

Bruno dominated the top songs list as two of his collaborations — "Die With A Smile" with Lady Gaga and "APT." with Blackpink's Rosé — finished at No. 1 and No. 3, respectively. The former song managed to accumulate over 1.7 billion streams globally this year.
Sandwiched between them was Billie's "Birds of a Feather" (up one spot from last year) as Alex Warren's "Ordinary" and Bad Bunny's "DtMF" completed the Top 5.
"The Joe Rogan Experience" was the top podcast globally for the sixth consecutive year followed by "The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett" and "The Mel Robbins Podcast."
Rebecca Yarros led the audiobooks list as her "Fourth Wing" and "Iron Flame" placed No. 1 and No. 3, respectively, with Navessa Allen's "Lights Out" sandwiched between them.
Completing the Top 5 were "A Court of Thorns and Roses" and "A Court of Mist and Fury" by Sarah J. Mass, whose "A Court of Wings and Ruin" figured at No. 8.
