The Weeknd is a favorite to be named Top Global Artist on Spotify Wrapped 2025, as his brand-new album Hurry up Tomorrow has proven popular with subscribers.
The acclaimed album, which is the final chapter of a trilogy, has received more than two billion streams on the platform since it was released on January 31, 2025.
It is the artist’s seventh studio album to achieve this incredible milestone on Spotify, making him one of the most popular singer-songwriters in the world.
The numbers are only likely to get bigger throughout the year, as The Weeknd recently kickstarted his major North American stadium tour on May 9, 2025, which will conclude on September 3, 2025.
As a result, it’s likely to boost his streams before and after the concerts across the United States and Canada, which could help him secure Top Global Artist on Spotify Wrapped this year.
Past Winners Could Steal It Again
The Weeknd faces stiff competition from past recipients of Top Global Artist this year.
Despite being one of the most streamed artists on the platform with 80.61 billion streams, his numbers often struggle to rival Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny.
For example, Taylor Swift currently has 103.97 billion streams on Spotify, and Bad Bunny is close behind with 81 billion streams.
As Bad Bunny has recently released a brand-new album, he could overtake Swift for streams this year, especially if she doesn’t release a new album or songs. Plus, he spent 334 days at the top of Spotify’s global daily artist charts in 2025.
For this reason, BEO betting odds indicate Bad Bunny is most likely to be named the Top Global Artist on Spotify Wrapped 2025. However, rumor has it that Taylor Swift has been busy working on new songs and is planning to drop an album later this year.
Another Popular Artist Could Win
Another popular artist or band could potentially steal the crown this year, surprising music fans everywhere.
The year is far from over, and it only takes one fantastic album to blow the competition out of the water.
As of June 2025, potential contenders for Top Global Artist include Bruno Mars, Chappell Roan, Ariana Grande, Drake, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, and Billie Eilish. Of course, a talented outsider could surprise, such as Justin Bieber, Ed Sheeran, SZA, or Katy Perry.
The Top Global Artist on Spotify Wrapped 2025 is likely to be announced at the end of November or early December. Keep your eyes peeled for it!
