Top 10 most followed K-pop artists on Spotify in 2025
The most popular K-pop artists are dominating around the world and Spotify is one of the best places to find South Korean artists. Here are the top ten most-followed K-pop groups and solo artists as of January 2025.
The time of K-pop dominance is now. K-pop has been growing in recent years and the most popular groups such as BTS and BLACKPINK have been topping charts on their home turf and across the globe.
In 2022 Spotify said worldwide K-pop streams were averaging 7.97bn monthly plays. This was up 27% from the year before. It’s been four years since Spotify launched its service in South Korea, and its K-pop playlists are incredibly popular.
With all this in mind, we wanted to highlight the top K-pop groups and solo artists (all of whom originate from BTS) on Spotify in 2025.
BTS holds the crown for the most-followed K-pop band on Spotify, with over 77 million followers. BLACKPINK are the most-followed K-pop girlband, with over 52 million followers. V has over 19 million followers and is the most-followed K-pop solo artist.

The girls are perfect. They deserve to be adored.
Very interesting
Need to update that list bc NewJeans is conquering the world and are over 20 million monthly listerners on Spotify as of today!
And Fifty Fifty has even more than New Jeans. This list updating really bad
This list really does need an update really really bad. I’ve seen multiple groups (MULTIPLE) who are beating these groups as of right now
TWICE has 20 million followers now
What a stupid comparison based on the number of subscribers! BTS has 39 billion streams of songs, Blackspink has 13 billion, Jung Kook has 6 billion, and V has 3 billion. Your entire article is biased and filled with lies.
Hi, There are many ways to judge the size of artists. Followers on Spotify is just one of the many unbiased ways we use in our top 10 rankings. Thanks
