    Spotify have announced the top streamed artists, albums, and tracks from 2018.


    Music lovers continued with some existing favorites, such as 2015 and 2016’s most-streamed artist, Drake, who took home the crown once again this year. With 8.2 billion streams in 2018 alone, the Canadian rapper is now our most-streamed artist of all time. His album “Scorpion” and song “God’s Plan” took the top slots in their categories—with “God’s Plan” bringing in more than 1 billion streams.

    The top rising genre? Emo Rap.

    Glad to see My Favorite Murder get a shout out, even though they didn’t make top 5.

    I must be living under a rock because I have absolutely no idea who J Balvin is.

    He is a very popular Latin music artist who has started breaking out in the US. He does reggaeton. He had an album he worked on with Pharrell and was on a cardi b track and he had Ginza a few years ago which was big for him also
