2025 Wrapped List for Top 10 Artists

    • Bad Bunny

It is definitely a culturally empowering moment when you get to see a Puerto Rican artist dominating the top list that is filled with American music artists. Bad Bunny becoming the top artist is even more relevant in these troubled times, where immigrants are ill-treated and killed in America. The latest album project by the artist is also based on similar thoughts of unity and reminiscence of history, which is called ‘DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS’. DTMF is easily one of the most powerful music projects by the Bunny that is political, fearless, warm, and also embraces culture and humanity. After claiming the title for 2020, 2021, and 2022, the artist has again claimed the spot in 2025 with a whopping 19.8 billion streams. 

    • Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift’s never-ending musical journey is still ongoing, and there is no stopping in ‘The Life of a Showgirl’. This globally revered pop star with a highly active fanbase known as ‘Swifties’ has successfully managed to take the second spot in the top 10 list with the commercial success of the latest album project, which is also her twelfth studio album. Taylor utilizes a swift strategy by launching the same tracks with multiple versions, special vinyl editions, and other promotional tricks, which allows her to stack a huge amount of streams. Her Eras Tour and multiple concert films also helped her rise to this level. 

    • The Weeknd

Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, has managed to be one of the top 3 global artists on Spotify as his popularity kept rising. Thanks to the fans and new listeners who supported his growth and also the release of this latest album project, which is titled ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’. This is the sixth studio album by the artist and is also being considered as his final project with his inclination towards acting and Hollywood. The album dropped with a supporting film where The Weeknd acted along with Jenna Ortega, and the movie was heavily criticized for poor acting and no substance. However, the album proves to be quite dynamic with the guest collaborations with Travis Scott, Anitta, Future, Playboi Carti, Lana Del Rey, and many others. 

    • Drake

Even after having a fair amount of beef with Kendrick Lamar and receiving negative aura, this Canadian rapper still managed to be one of the top 5 artists in the list with global popularity. He has become Spotify’s most-streamed artist for the 11th consecutive year, and he garnered more than 18.4 billion streams. The most successful project by Drake in 2025 would be ‘NOKIA’, which is currently dominating streaming charts. He has also dropped "What Did I Miss?", a single from his upcoming album ‘Iceman’. 

    • Billie Eilish

Billie Eilish is a fearless popstar who is not afraid to bring the chaotic socio-political situation of America to the stage of the Grammys, and it is the reason why everybody loves her because the artist is emotional and knows how to speak for others. Even though she has not dropped any new music projects or albums in 2025, she still remains as one of the Top 5 with the meteoric success of her 2024 album, ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’. "CHIHIRO" and "WILDFLOWER" are the two most popular tracks from the album that captivated the whole industry. Similarly, there is another intriguing single titled "BIRDS OF A FEATHER" that received a Grammy nomination. She received a total of 7 nominations but did not get any award. However, she definitely earned the love and respect from everyone, along with her brother Finneas. 

    • Kendrick Lamar

After the wide success of ‘Not Like Us’, Kendrick Lamar needed to create some fresh content to work on, and the release of the GNX project could be considered as the outcome. The album received a huge amount of momentum in 2025, especially the track ‘Luther’, featuring SZA. Another standout track by Lamar in 2025 would be "Peekaboo" (feat. AzChiki), which broke records in the rap charts. ‘Not Like Us’ is still one of the most successful tracks from his arsenal, which has created a major buzz in 2025 as well, along with other bangers like "Squabble Up," "N95," "Euphoria," and "Alright," which he performed at the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show and received a renewed boost in popularity.

    • Bruno Mars

It goes without saying that Bruno Mars remains one of the most talented and lovable music artists in the industry with zero negativity. Mars is capable of seamlessly collaborating with global artists, and that is why he is in the top 10 list even though he has not dropped a single track in 2025. He collaborated with Lady Gaga for the song "Die With A Smile," which became an instant hit with a million streams, and something similar happened with ‘APT.,’ where Mars collaborated with ROSÉ. He is probably the only artist who is capable of being on the top list without dropping his own music. In 2026, the artist finally decided to drop a new album after a decade, which is called ‘The Romantic’. 

    • Ariana Grande

 Ariana Grande dropped a deluxe album in 2025, titled "eternal sunshine (brighter days ahead) ", and it was out by March 28. As a result, the Grande fans were quite happy with the spring gift, which offered many fresh new tracks, including "twilight zone," "dandelion," "warm," "past life," to name a few. The album also featured an extended version of "intro (end of the world)". One of the most captivating collaborative projects by Ariana would be Supernatural (feat. Troye Sivan), which gained a huge attention in 2025. However, nothing can beat the popularity or notoriety of ‘Defying Gravity’, which she performed with Cynthia Erivo, her ‘Wicked’ partner by all means. 

    • Arijit Singh

This is perhaps the most unique addition to the Top 10 chart that made all the Indians happy. India’s one of the most talented singers, Arijit Singh, has managed to be on the top 10 list for the global charts, and it is a very proud moment for all of his fans. An artist who is mostly revered for his magical and melancholic voice that oozes romance received a massive amount of global attention. In 2025, he collaborated with Ed Sheeran for a remixed version of "Sapphire," and he also worked with DJ and music producer Martin Garrix for tracks like "Angels For Each Other" and "Weightless," which received global attention. After understanding his worth in the global market, he retired from Bollywood playback singing, which offered him no room for growth. 

    • Fuerza Regida

This is also an interesting entry in the list as Fuerza Regida is a regional Mexican band that was formed in San Bernardino, California, in 2015. This is the first time for the band to be featured in the top 10 list, and they deserve every bit of love and support they get from the fans. In 2025, this band dropped a handful of new music projects, such as "CHROME HEARTS," "tu favorito," and "Micaela". However, the entire year is shadowed by the success of the album 111XPANTIA.
