Spotify on Wednesday released its popular Wrapped feature, the annual list of what users listened to the most during the year. The catalog typically includes a user’s top artists, songs and podcasts, and other personalized stats about what they stream. This year, Spotify is rolling out a look at how users’ listening habits change throughout the day, among other features.
The music streaming giant confirmed that Bad Bunny was the most-streamed artist globally in 2022, with more than 18.5 billion streams around the world this year. The second most-streamed artist was Taylor Swift, followed by Drake, The Weeknd and BTS.

Wait, aren’t people already posting their favorite musicians of the year?
You might feel like you’ve already seen your friends’ favorite musicians of 2022 because of Instafest.
The website, which has spiked in popularity in recent weeks, shows Spotify users their most-played artists in a graphic that looks like a music festival lineup. You can also choose the time period when your most-streamed artists are chosen, including the past four weeks, six months or all-time.
But Instafest wasn’t made by Spotify. Instead, it comes from a third-party website made by University of Southern California student Anshay Saboo.
