Bad Bunny is the most listened-to artist on Spotify for the third year in a row

Spotify released its highly anticipated Spotify Wrapped, which collects the platform's global data and the listening history of its users. For the third consecutive year, Bad Bunny is once again crowned as the most listened-to artist in the world.

The Puerto Rican artist once again won the award thanks to his album “Un Verano Sin Ti,” which has been the most listened to album in the world this year. Bad Bunny’s album also became the first album entirely in Spanish to be nominated for Album of the Year at the upcoming Grammy Awards.

Others who entered the top spots on the Spotify ladder were Taylor Swift and Drake, who complete the Top 3 most listened to artists on the site in 2022, followed on the list by The Weeknd and K-Pop icons BTS.

To honor Bad Bunny's achievement, the Swedish media services company said it would turn the heart icon seen on the cover of “Un Verano Sin Ti” into a commercial design, just like the balloon that appeared in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade this year.
