Top 10 most-streamed artists on Spotify – artists with the most monthly listeners in 2024
The most popular artists worldwide as of December 2024. Spotify’s monthly listeners give us a clear view of currently popular artists.
Updated by Spotify every 24 hours and publicly displayed on the profiles of all artists, monthly listeners are a great indication of currently popular artists on streaming platforms.
We last updated this list in October, after The Weeknd reclaimed the top spot from Billie Eilish thanks to two new singles. This saw The Weeknd reach a record breaking 120 million monthly listeners.
Now, with two new singles under his belt, Bruno Mars has shot to the top of the list and surpassed 136 million monthly listeners.
Lady Gaga, who has a new single with Bruno Mars, is currently the most listened to female artist, trading places with Billie Eilish. Billie Eilish still holds the crown for the youngest artist on the top 10, at 22 years old. Coldplay, who released an album in October and have festive music regaining popularity, are the most listened to band.
Other movement within the top ten comes from Ariana Grande, who has climbed from ten to five, thanks to the Wicked soundtrack. Justin Bieber has climbed a place, likely due to older festive hits seeing seasonal streams, while Rihanna has dropped a couple of places. Sabrina Carpenter has fallen from the top ten, as Ed Sheeran reenters at number ten.
