2023 is about to end and that can only mean one thing… the time has come to find out who the most listened to artists on Spotify were and, although we already saw it coming, today we confirm it, Taylor Swift was crowned the most popular artist worldwide. And it seems that this year was a dream year for the 33-year-old singer, as she became an unstoppable hit machine, released not one, but two albums, organized one of the most amazing world tours in recent decades, and As if that were not enough, he found love.
Taylor Swift managed to beat Bad Bunny, who for the last 3 years was the absolute winner, and move him to second position in the world ranking, a place that, to be honest, is still very enviable. The Bad Bunny, for his part, did not have a bad 2023 either, as he also had a successful world tour and although his most recent album, Nobody Knows What Is Going to Happen Tomorrow did not succeed as he would have liked, it was named by Forbes like the new king of pop.
However, something that definitely surprised us was the fact that Peso Pluma managed to sneak into the first five positions of the top, occupying fifth place among the most popular artists worldwide on Spotify during 2023. In addition, the Jalisco native was the number one artist in the Mexican ranking, all of which confirms that the Mexican and his prone corridos broke it this year, so everything seems to indicate that 2024 will be a much more successful year for Doble P.
