“Spotify Wrapped 2025: Bad Bunny Is the Most-Streamed Global Artist of the Year”

-

“Spotify Wrapped 2025 is here and Bad Bunny has dethroned Taylor Swift as most-streamed artist” 

What Went Down in Spotify Wrapped 2025

  • In 2025, Spotify’s global data crowned Bad Bunny as the most-streamed artist worldwide — with around 19.8 billion streams — dethroning Taylor Swift, who held the top spot in previous years. 

  • His album Debí Tirar Más Fotos topped the global charts as well, cementing his dominance this year. 

  • Other big global names following him include The Weeknd, Drake, and Billie Eilish — showing just how varied global tastes continue to be.

Wrapped 2025 delivers a snapshot of not just who’s popular — but what languages, genres, and vibes are resonating worldwide.

Why “Don’t Outsource Your Love of Music to AI” Matters

Around the same time, a commentary — titled “This Spotify Wrapped season, don’t outsource your love of music to AI” — pushed back on relying too heavily on algorithmic summaries of listening habits. 

The core argument:

  • When we let a data-driven tool (or AI-powered recap) define what “our music year” was, we risk giving up personal reflection. The tool tells us what we listened to — but doesn’t capture how we felt, why we listened, or what moments each song was tied to.

  • This kind of “cognitive offloading” — outsourcing thought and memory to software — can dull our critical engagement and emotional memory with music. It turns music into a quota of streams, not a journey of feelings, discovery, or shared memories.

In a world saturated with playlists, auto-generated recaps, and viral-driven charts, the piece argues for reclaiming music as a personal, sometimes messy but always human experience — not just a list of numbers.

Graham Greene : A Literary Master of Moral Complexity Introduction GRAHAM GREENE Few authors of the 20th century combined storytelling, moral inquiry, and political awareness as powerfully as Graham Greene . An English novelist, short story writer, journalist, critic, and screenwriter, Greene created works that transcended genres, blurring the boundaries between popular fiction and literary art. He wrote thrillers infused with suspense, but unlike typical detective novels, Greene’s stories grappled with profound issues of faith, doubt, betrayal, and human frailty . Over a career spanning six decades, Greene produced more than 25 novels, as well as plays, short stories, memoirs, and essays. His works ranged from Catholic-themed explorations of sin and redemption—dubbed his “Catholic novels”—to politically charged thrillers that dissected espionage, imperialism, and corruption. Novels such as The Power and the Glory , The Heart of the Matter , The End of the Affair , and Our Man in Ha...
