Despite a Cherished Spotify Bond, Taylor Swift Served No Top Spot on Most-Streamed List

Published 02/28/2025, 10:06 PM EST

Taylor Swift is one of the rare showbiz stars whose net worth does no justice to her power play because no matter how big the tag, her skills remain priceless. Though her fandom often wages war with other camps, the pop royalty herself has been a weaver of dreams, sometimes even putting others above her own. This is probably why she maintains a reputation far more grounded than the rest, forming bonds beyond formality and face value. Yet, not every alliance can bring statistical success and her snub from the top spot of Spotify’s most-streamed list is a shining example.

While Swift and Spotify have had a buddy-buddy past, her snub sniffs like trouble in paradise.

From exclusive features to album launch installations, Taylor Swift and Spotify partnered on multiple occasions. Not only so, the 35-year-old has been a regular on every formidable streaming chart, until she recently fell out of favor in one of those prestigious ones. According to Spotify’s chart of most-streamed albums of all time, no Swift record has swiftly secured a place in the top 10. The pack is led by Bad Bunny’s ‘Un Verano Sin Ti’ at #1.

The Weeknd’s ‘Starboy’ takes the second position followed by Ed Sheeran’s ‘Divide’ at third. Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘SOUR’ ranks fourth, followed by The Weeknd’s ‘After Hours’ and Post Malone’s ‘Hollywood’s Bleeding’ at fifth and sixth, respectively. The seventh and eighth positions belong to Dua Lipa’s ‘Future Nostalgia’ and ‘Dua Lipa.’ Malone and SZA round out the list with ‘Beerbongs & Bentleys’ and ‘SOS Deluxe: LANA.’

Though Spotify played a huge part in the success of Taylor Swift’s record-shattering ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ the omission felt a little too personal as Swifties went on a search drive upon her no-show on the list.

It is difficult to imagine Taylor Swift’s absence at the top of anything remotely associated with music. But the Spotify miss was a heartbreaker of all sorts for Swifties who were dedicatedly on the lookout for her albums on the list. Of course, several formidable players of the music industry were no-shows on the chart. However, none probably stung so deeply and quickly as the Swift one.

As the fans scrolled through to see if the chart had been missing anything by mistake, the thread bore similar emotions from every Swift follower.

Meanwhile, the non-Swifties took the cue and made it a point to highlight the snub like a failure showcase. Some were even drawn to the statistics specifically because of Swift’s absence. However, in the Swiftie headquarters, it surely did not seem like a day when they would like to extend their friendship bracelets to the streamer.
