Taylor Swift is the UK’s most-streamed artist of 2023
Pop star Taylor Swift was the UK’s most-streamed artist of 2023, topping the end-of-year charts across Spotify, Apple Music and Deezer.
The singer was particularly powerful on Apple’s service, where she set an all-time record for the most listeners for any artist in a single year.
But she failed to claim the most-played song on any of the streaming platforms.
On Spotify, that honour went to Dave and Central Cee’s summer smash, Sprinter.

Only Spotify provided data for the UK’s most-streamed album – with Taylor Swift’s Midnights topping the charts.
It was followed by R&B star SZA’s second album SOS, which featured the massive hit single Kill Bill.
Harry Styles’ Harry’s House came third, followed by Arctic Monkeys’ AM – which turned 10 this year – and Taylor Swift’s Lover.

Taylor Swift was the most-played artist globally on all three platforms, achieving 26.1 billion streams on Spotify alone since 1 January.
Puerto Rican star Bad Bunny came second, followed by The Weeknd, Drake and Peso Pluma.
Other streaming services, including YouTube and Amazon Music, have yet to release their figures.
The Official Charts will reveal the overall biggest songs of the year – tallying streams, downloads and physical sales – in January.
