Dangerous: The Double Album

It was 20 years ago today that Spotify began to play. And to mark the streaming service’s big anniversary, for the first time ever on Thursday (April 23) Spotify shared its list of the most streamed artists, songs, albums, podcasts and audiobooks in its history.

Some of the artists at the top of the music categories won’t surprise anyone. You would expect Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, Drake, the Weeknd and Ed Sheeran to feature prominently given their domination during the streaming era. There are, of course, plenty of veteran acts in the mix on the most-streamed of all time list as well — Rihanna, Eminem, Coldplay, Kanye West — but the real interesting mix is on the top 20 most streamed albums tally.
