Bad Bunny’s status as an international phenomenon has been further validated after being named the most-streamed global artist on Spotify for the third consecutive year, making him the first artist to achieve that feat.
The 28-year-old’s fourth solo studio album, Un Verano Sin Ti, played a huge role in his retaining that title, as it tallied more than 18.5 billion streams on the platform. Rounding out the Top 5 global artists lists was Taylor Swift at No. 2, Drake in third, The Weeknd coming in fourth, and BTS landing in the fifth spot.

While Ocasio’s global dominance was unquestioned, in terms of Spotify’s most-streamed artists in the U.S., rap star Drake took the crown, with Bad Bunny coming in third behind Taylor Swift, who finished in second place.
