Top 10 most-streamed artists on Spotify – artists with the most monthly listeners in 2024
The most popular artists worldwide as of April 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 January earlier this year, when the top ten was skewed towards artists with Christmas hits. In the months since, we have seen Mariah Carey, Sia and Ed Sheeran all drop out of the top ten after seeing a drop off in streams of their Christmas releases.
The Weeknd continues his hold on the top spot, after last year taking it back from the current most-followed female artist Taylor Swift.
New entries come from Beyoncé, Dua Lipa and Kanye West who have all released new music in 2024. Rihanna and Drake have both climbed several places. Justin Bieber has dropped four places in the top 10, with no new releases this year.
