Bad Bunny moves back into favourite at 2/5 to be the most streamed artist on Spotify this year
Spotify Wrapped is getting closer and closer and bookmakers continue to offer specials on which artist will finish the year having the most streams on the platform.
Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican rapper and singer-songwriter, has been top of the streaming charts for the past three years and he's now back into 2/5 favourite to do so again.
Taylor Swift's rise in popularity even further this year saw her move into the favourite to have the most streams but she has since drifted in the betting market once more.
The latest odds suggest that there's a 71% chance that Bad Bunny is the most streamed artist on Spotify when the year ends with Spotify Wrapped expected to come in early December.
| Spotify most streamed artist of 2023 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Bad Bunny | 2/5 | 71.4% |
| Taylor Swift
|
3/1 | 25.0% |
| The Weeknd

What the expert says...
Taylor Swift drifts out from 1/5 favourite to 3/1 to top the Spotify streaming list
American singer Taylor Swift had moved into 1/5 favourite for the most streamed artist on Spotify after her popularity somehow grew even stronger with her ongoing Eras tour.
Swift's odds did give her an 83% chance of being the top of the pile on Spotify but those odds have drifted with Bad Bunny remaining a strong player in the streaming world.
The market now has Swift as the second favourite at 3/1 with just a 25% chance of her topping the streaming list, but her release of '1989 (Taylor's Version)' should see another big bump in streams.

Bad Bunny has been the most streamed artist on the streaming platform every year for the last 3 years
Bad Bunny's popularity has stayed consistent every single year and that's likely the reason why his odds have shortened once more for the top Spotify streams this year.
The Puerto-Rican had 18.5 BILLION streams on the platform last year and it looks like that number will grow even further this year with streaming increasing further in popularity.
Post Malone was the last artist to beat Bad Bunny in the streaming list with 6.5 billion total streams back in 2019 and it'll be interesting to see what number gets you to #1 spot this year.
| Year
|
Highest Streamed Artist (Number of streams on Spotify)
|
|---|---|
| 2018 | Drake (4.7 billion) |
| 2019 | Post Malone (6.5 billion) |
| 2020 | Bad Bunny (8.3 billion) |
| 2021 | Bad Bunny (9.1 billion) |
| 2022 | Bad Bunny (18.5 billion) |
