Spotify has revealed its annual list for the most streamed artists and songs on the service. The most-streamed artist of 2020 was rapper Bad Bunny, with more than 8.3 billion plays. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmKh7lAwnBI The Puerto Rican artist, real name Benito Ocasio, also had the most-streamed album of the year with YHLQMDLG. His new album El Ultimo Tour Del Mundo was released last week, and lead single 'Dakiti' featuring Jhay Cortez is currently the world's most-streamed track. Following Bad Bunny on the list of the most-streamed artist were Drake, J Balvin, Juice WRLD and the Weeknd. All of the most-streamed artists were male. Billie Eilish was the most-streamed female artist, with Taylor Swift second and Ariana Grande third. Dua Lipa and Halsey rounded out the rest of the top five. The Weeknd had the most-streamed song of the year with 'Blinding Lights.' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NRXx6U8ABQ 'Dance Monkey' by Tones And  Roddy Rich‘s 'The Box' were the second and third most-streamed tracks respectively.

The Joe Rogan Experience was the most listened-to podcast of the year on Spotify.
