Bad Bunny takes on Taylor Swift in the Spotify Streaming Charts
The race for the title of Spotify’s Top Global Artist 2025 is heating up, with Bad Bunny remaining the odds-on favourite but Taylor Swift closing the gap as excitement builds around her new album The Life of a Showgirl, due for release on October 3rd.
Bad Bunny has been a strong player in the streaming charts in recent years and is priced at 1/2 to grab the crown back, but the betting market suggests Swift’s upcoming release could shake things up.
Swift now sits at 6/4 to make it three years in-a-row of being the most streamed artist on Spotify after impressive back-to-back years at the top.
Betting sites latest odds give an implied probability of 66.7% that it'll be Bad Bunny in the top spot, with Swift's chances now at 40%.
Spotify Top Global Artist 2025 Odds
| Spotify Top Global Artist 2025 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Bad Bunny | 1/2 | 66.7% |

| The Weeknd | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Chappell Roan | 12/1 | 7.7% |

Swift’s Album Could Shift the Market
Taylor Swift has topped Spotify’s annual Wrapped list in 2023 and 2024 and punters are speculating she could reclaim the title if The Life of a Showgirl enjoys the same record-breaking streams as her past albums.
Betting experts point to her ability to dominate streaming charts on release day, with single-day records well within reach.
If her October release drives another spike in global streams, Swift could well leapfrog Bad Bunny before the year is out.

Bad Bunny Still the One to Beat
Despite Swift’s rise, Bad Bunny has been the streaming powerhouse of the decade, finishing as the most-streamed artist in both 2020 and 2021 before Taylor Swift took over.
With a loyal global fanbase and continued momentum from Debí Tirar Más Fotos, bookmakers continue to back him as the clear favourite.
