You snooze, you lose.
Despite having more than 160 million streams on Spotify, Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines is no match for Avicii’s Wake Me Up, Spotify’s most streamed song of all time with 235 million streams.
And although Pharrell Williams and Daft Punk have had some of the biggest songs of the past year, they can’t top Eminem when it comes to being Spotify’s most streamed artist of all time. The popular rapper is joined by his hit-making collaborator Rihanna, named Spotify’s most streamed female artist ever. Together, the pair has raked in Spotify listeners with chart-toppers The Monster (137 million streams) and Love the Way You Lie (111 million streams).
Birthday girl Katy Perry takes the cake as the music service’s second most streamed female artist, while David Guetta reels in two honors: the second most streamed male artist ever, and the most followed artist on Spotify with more than 5 million followers. Most Shazam-ed newcomers Clean Bandit are also continuing their ascension, with single Rather Be (featuring Jess Glynne) claiming the title of most played song in offline mode.
Launched in 2008, Spotify now has 10 million paying subscribers and more than 40 million active users across 56 markets.
