The superstars of the music world are only getting bigger. Who are the top ten most followed artists on Spotify, as of April 2024?

Spotify is the world’s most popular streaming service, famed for its super-intuitive music recommendations and great playlists. It’s a fantastic place to discover brand new music – and loyal fans can keep up-to-date with what their favourite superstar artists are releasing next.

Publicly displayed on Spotify in the About section of an artist profile, which artist has the most followers on Spotify? Check out the top ten biggest artists on Spotify, according to how many followers they have currently, in April 2024.

Every artist in the top ten has over 70 million followers. Ed Sheeran is in the top spot – 2022 saw the British popstar become the first artist to reach 100 million followers on Spotify, and until earlier this year, was the only artist to reach this milestone. Since the start of 2024, Taylor Swift and Indian singer Arijit Singh have both joined Ed Sheeran in the +100 million club.

Taylor Swift recently took the spot from Arijit Singh as the second most-followed artist on Spotify, and she is the most-followed female artist. Billie Eilish is the youngest artist on the list at just 22 years old. The Weeknd recently knocked K-pop boy band BTS off the top 10.

Since we last updated this list in January earlier this year, Ed Sheeran has actually lost followers, with a minor drop from 114 to 113 million followers. Taylor Swift has increased by a huge 11 million followers. The Weeknd and Bad Bunny have traded places, in eighth and nineth place respectively.
