Today Spotify, the world’s most popular global audio streaming subscription service, is officially revealing “Wrapped.” This annual end of year campaign announces the leading artists, albums, songs, playlists, and podcasts that defined how 248 million people around the world listened to and discovered music and podcasts in 2019.
Spotify can reveal that Eason Chan is Hong Kong’s most streamed artist this year. Demonstrating Hong Kongers love for local music this year as three out of the five top-streamed artists in Hong Kong are all homegrown. Eason Chan, Hins Cheung and Joey Yung take out the top spots, joined by global superstar Ed Sheeran. For the third consecutive year, Eason Chan and Joey Yung are the most streamed male and female artists respectively on Spotify in Hong Kong. K-Pop popularity remains strong with BTS ranking as the most streamed group in Hong Kong, followed by Mayday, Dear Jane, Maroon 5 and BLACKPINK.
Female voices were a force on Spotify in 2019, with Billie Eilish, who had an earthshaking breakout year, coming in as the second most streamed artist globally. She surpassed 6 billion streams this year alone, and her album WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? is 2019’s most streamed album of the year on Spotify, marking the first time a female-led album has topped “Wrapped.” The year’s most streamed song is from the duo that took the Northern Hemisphere summer by storm: “Señorita” by Shawn Mendes and Camilla Cabello with more than 1 billion streams, followed closely by Eilish’s hit track “bad guy” with more than 990 million streams.
