As 2019 draws to a close, so too does a stellar year of streaming on Spotify. You may be reflecting back on the past 12 months, thinking about your own music discoveries and the songs you repeated over, and over, and over. (You’ll be able to check them out on your personal Wrapped cards later this week). We’re doing the same—but for the entire world.
We dove into the newcomers, showstoppers, and top performers who united the globe with music and podcasts this year. And ahead of the brand-new decade, we also looked back on the last 10 years in music to reveal who dominated global listening.
So, what did the world listen to in 2019?
Feel free to check out this Google doc which has all the 944 genres in Spotify. Yes, there are quite a few there, but nothing that Ctrl+F can't handle!

We and our partners use cookies to personalize your experience, to show you ads based on your interests, and for measurement and analytics purposes. The only place you can view music in a specific genre is to browse by genre or mood through artists, albums, and playlists that are curated by Spotify. If I am listening to Spotify Radio, a playlist, or even a new album from an artist I follow and do not know the genre but want to see it to discover similar music.
This year, Post Maloneclaimed the spot of most-streamed artist with over6.5 billion streams from fans around the globe. It’s the rapper-singer-songwriter’s first time topping Spotify’s Wrapped list, and he did it just 12 weeks after dropping his album Hollywood’s Bleeding (which also happens to be the second most-streamed album globally this year). His collaboration with Swae Lee on “Sunflower” from Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse rounded out the top three most-streamed songs of the year, which gives the artist a spot in each of our three major music categories (top artists, top songs, and top albums).
The second-most-streamed artist of the year is 17-year-old singer-songwriter and first time Grammy nominee Billie Eilish, who by now, definitely deserves that crown. In this year alone, she dropped her album WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? and surpassed 6 billion streams. The album has proven to be the top-streamed release of 2019, marking a milestone—Billie is the first female artist to have her album top the Wrapped most-streamed album category. Her dark staccato hit “bad guy” also ranks as the second-most-streamed song of the year.
Finally, Ariana Grande released her immensely popular album thank u, next in February, propelling her to number three on Spotify’s list of most-streamed-artists globally. Her song “7 rings” was also in the top five most streamed this year, giving Ariana a strong two years in the top 10 of Spotify’s Wrapped list. Listeners also showed Taylor Swift lots of love, making her the year’s third top-streamed female artist after her album Lover generated popular tracks like “ME!” and “You Need to Calm Down.”
When it comes to the most-streamed female artist of the decade, Ariana once again takes the cake. Only tears of joy left to cry for this one. (And the top male artist? Last year’s Scorpion king, Drake.)
The year’s top song comes from the duo that took the Northern Hemisphere’s summer by storm: “Señorita” by Shawn Mendes and Camilla Cabellosaw more than 1 billion streams. After “Señorita,” “bad guy,” “Sunflower,” and “7 rings,” the year’s fifth-most-streamed track came from Lil Nas XandBilly Ray Cyrus. Theytook their horse all the way to the front with “Old Town Road – Remix.”
This year was a big one for podcast growth on Spotify. There are now more than 500,000 podcast titles available, and our podcast audience has grown by more than 50% since the start of the year. We’ve also seen a 39% increase in podcast hours consumed by listeners quarter over quarter.People are clearly loving podcasts, tuning in the most to Spotify Original The Joe Budden Podcast with Rory and Mal, followed by My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstarkand Germany’s Gemischtes Hack.The most-streamed podcast genre of 2019 was comedy, showing that laughter is truly universal.

https://lulucky.netlify.app/can-i-skip-songs-on-spotify-free.html. I enjoyed Spotify especially the skips and offline music, I was able to experience it when I started the 7 day trial version. After that, I feel sad that it's not available on the Free version. I upgraded to Premium and I'm happy. You may want to take a look at the following differences to decide. There is currently no way, where you can skip/stop songs in game. But you could use Spotify on your phone or another device to stop/skip songs. Be sure to check this link out for more details about Spotify Connect. ^^ Let me know how it goes! I don't think those were the words he was looking for and there's no need to be condescending, it's a sensible question but there is no answer for it, whenever the question is asked someone with their Spotify flair always says something about getting premium completely ignoring the question of Why can't you skip or play any song you want on mobile as you can on PC, with the same free service. Click this new Pause button to resume playing. You can also press the spacebar to pause and un-pause a track if you’re currently in Spotify. Or you can press the Play/Pause button on your keyboard, if it has that button, at any time to pause and unpause a track.
