The year is ending, and it’s that time again where everyones getting their “best of” and “top” lists ready. Spotify lets us in on this by computing on who and what the most popular artists, albums, and songs are based on streaming data, so you know what’s getting the most love on this streaming platform. Names mentioned are well-known artists from varying genres, with the likes of Pharrell, Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande, Calvin Harris and OneRepublic.
