Taylor Swift Named Spotify's Global Top Artist 2024

Taylor Swift has been crowned Spotify's 2024 Global Top Artist for the second consecutive year, amassing over 26.6 billion streams, with her album 'The Tortured Poets Department' leading the charts. In stark contrast, Beyonce did not make the top ten in any category, raising eyebrows among her fans, especially following her recent accolade as the Greatest Pop Star of the 21st Century by Billboard. The Spotify Wrapped event highlighted that women dominated the music scene, with all five top-streamed albums being by female artists, including Sabrina Carpenter and Billie Eilish. Swift's popularity was further underscored as she topped both global and UK charts, and Spotify is commemorating her achievement with a special badge and interactive features for her listeners. Meanwhile, Noah Kahan's song 'Stick Season' emerged as the UK's most-streamed track, showcasing the rise of new artists in the music landscape. The annual Wrapped event continues to reveal trends and patterns in listener preferences across the platform.
