These are the most-streamed things of all time on Spotify

It might be cringe to share our Spotify Wrapped on social media every year, but we do it anyway. What we listen to says a lot about us, whether it’s something we’re proud of or not.

Buckle up: now we have 20 years of data to look at—Spotify just revealed the most-streamed media of all time, across its entire existence…and it seems quite modern?

Take a look at the data (which reflects global Spotify streams as of April 2026).
