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. 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). 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). This year, Post Malone claimed the spot of most-streamed artist with over 6.5 billion streams from fans around the globe.

So, what did the world listen to in 2019? And ahead of the brand-new decade, we also looked back on the last 10 years in music to reveal who dominated global listening. We dove into the newcomers, showstoppers, and top performers who united the globe with music and podcasts this year. We’re doing the same-but for the entire world. (You’ll be able to check them out on your personal Wrapped cards later this week).

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. As 2019 draws to a close, so too does a stellar year of streaming on Spotify.
