Spotify’s 2021 Wrapped is a celebration of this – the millions of weird and wonderful ways to listen and live in a world that continues to keep us on our toes. With ‘normal’ thrown out the window, we embraced the unknown and championed all of the things that make each of us unique. Coming in at No 1 was Rodrigo’s debut Sour, followed by Lipa’s Future Nostalgia, Justin Bieber’s Justice, Sheeran’s fourth album = (Equals) and US rapper Doja Cat’s Planet Her.Ī statement from Spotify said: “If 2020 was the year that flipped the world on its head, 2021 was the year that we got used to seeing things upside down. Spotify’s biggest albums of the year included two British acts: Lipa and Ed Sheeran. Dua Lipa’s single “Levitating” ft DaBaby rounded off the top five – Lipa condemned the rapper in July after he made a series of homophobic comments about people living with AIDS and HIV during Rolling Loud Festival. Because increasingly what Wrapped says about us, beyond how many times we’ve streamed Tracy Chapman’s Fast Car this year, is that our experience with music is completely defined by one service. Justin Bieber teamed up with newcomer The Kid LAROI for their viral hit “STAY”, making it to No 3 on the most-streamed songs of the year, followed by another of Rodrigo’s songs, the kiss-off track “Good 4 U”. This was followed up by Lil Nas X’s “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)”, from his debut album, Montero. The most-streamed songs were dominated by relatively new blood, including Olivia Rodrigo with her debut single – the understated power ballad, “drivers license” – which was played more than 1.1 billion times this year following its release in January. She is followed by K-pop titans BTS, Canadian artist Drake, and pop star Justin Bieber, who released his sixth studio album, Justice, in March. Taylor Swift’s two re-recorded albums, Fearless and Red, helped her become the second most-streamed artist of the year. At the Latin Grammy Awards in November, he received prizes for Best Urban Music Album (El Último Tour Del Mundo) and Best Rap/Hip Hop Song (for his January single “Booker T”). He also featured on the single “Volví”, by Dominican-American band Aventura, in August he released “Lo Siento BB:/” with Tainy and Julieta Venegas in October. This comes after he became the most-decorated artist at the 2021 Billboard Latin Music Awards, receiving 10 gongs including Artist of the Year. Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny emerged as the most-streamed global artist of 2021, achieving more than 9.1 billion streams. Spotify Wrapped 2021, launched today (1 December), informs individual users about their listening habits as well as the overall trends that dominated the streaming platform over the last 12 months. Spotify has released its eagerly awaited statistics that unveil the most-streamed albums, songs and artists of the past year.
