Drake was Spotify’s most-streamed artist in the U.S. for 2021 and one of the Top 5 artists in terms of global streams on the platform.

Drake had another dominant year of generating streams on Spotify.

Spotify unveiled its 2021 Wrapped lists on Tuesday, revealing Drake was the year’s most-streamed artist in the U.S. The music superstar also locked down a spot in Spotify’s Top 5 list for global streams.

Drake came in ahead of Taylor Swift for the No. 1 spot on Spotify’s most-streamed artist in the U.S. Kanye West, the late Juice WRLD and Bad Bunny rounded out the Top 5.
