Spotify has revealed the biggest artists, songs, and podcasts of the past 12 months as part of its year-end Wrapped 2022 charts.

The world’s biggest music streamer boasts 456 million users across its free and premium services, making it an authority on trending tracks and musicians around the world.

As usual, the annual Wrapped rundown features the top artists, songs, and albums in the UK and globally. The list is chock full of superstars new and old, from the punchy pop of Olivia Rodrigo to Queen’s timeless rock anthems. Here in the UK, we continued to press play on homegrown crooners Harry Styles and Ed Sheeran, while the world couldn’t get enough of Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny and pop maven Taylor Swift.
