The year 2018 is coming to an end, but, Spotify’s playlists just got better with its 2018 Wrapped list. This list has been anticipated for quite some time now and it brings out highlights for its users, the 100 top tracks she/he has listened to this year, making it the most unique playlist based on every individual taste.

Drake was the most streamed artist in 2016, and he is taking the crown again this year with 8.2 billion streams. The Canadian rapper has proven to be the most streamed artist of all time.
‘God’s plan’ alone received more than 1 billion streams this year, which also took the top slot in its category followed by ‘Scorpion’ taking the top slot in its category.
Moving on, Drake was followed by Ariana Grande with 48 million monthly listeners which made her Spotify’s most streamed female artist. Rihanna followed Ariana with her hits like ‘Sweetener’ and ‘Thank u, next’ which received 220 million streams throughout the year.
Perhaps what’s more interesting is that the most streamed segment also highlighted “Girl Crush” by Harry Styles as the most streamed Spotify Single of 2018.
