There are a number of different ways to rank the most streamed artists on Spotify. The ranking is based on spotify plays from their lead songs and personal pages. You can also view the overall ranking by the number of tracks each artist has. It is also important to note that the number of streams is based on the lead songs and not all songs.
Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber has reached another milestone, becoming the most streamed artist on Spotify. His recent album, "Justice," has earned him 83.3 million monthly listeners, which is more than any other artist on the service. The pop star's popularity is also increasing, and his songs continue to chart high. In the past year, the teenager has had several songs on the top 100 list on the music streaming website. Recently, he made it twice on Spotify's top streamed summer songs list. His song "STAY," featuring The Kid LAROI, was No. 2, while his collaboration "Peaches" featuring Daniel Caesar was No. 13.

She's also hinted at a world tour next year. She's already headlined five concert tours for Reputation, which broke the record for highest-selling album of all time.

Ariana Grande is one of the most streamable artists on Spotify, and for good reason. The singer's fourth studio album, 'Sweetener,' is making waves around the world.

The singer currently has more than 80 million followers on social media, making her one of the most followed artists in the world.
One of the reasons why Ariana Grande is so popular on Spotify is her incredible voice. The singer has a four-octave range, which has earned her comparisons to Mariah Carey. The singer has also used her fame to get involved in various charity campaigns. When she was just 15 years old, she even performed on Broadway.
Calvin Harris
In a recent report by Spotify, the UK's most streamed artist was confirmed to be Calvin Harris. This is a significant achievement for a British artist, who is already one of the world's most popular DJs. His track Summer is among the most streamed songs on Spotify, with more than 160 million streams worldwide. The number is significant, as one billion streams is equivalent to 5000 years of listening. To celebrate his accomplishment, Harris will host a Spotify Playlist Takeover on September 9 at 8pm PST. Fans can also follow updates by following the hashtag #CalvinTakeover.
This list reveals the most popular artists on Spotify in each of the last five years. Drake has been the most popular artist on Spotify since 2013; he is the only male artist to do so.
