The top artists, playlists and songs on Spotify in 2019... and of the decade

As the year slowly draws to an end, it's time to reflect on 2019 - including our music choices.

This year you may have discovered new artists, or repeated the same old tracks over and over.

If you're a Spotify user, then you'll have discovered your personal 'Spotify Wrapped', which shows exactly what you have been listening to the past year.

The feature shows how your taste in music has changed over the seasons; who your top artists are; how many artists you have listened to from different countries; a comparison of your most chosen genres; and the songs you love the most.

While the music streaming service may have released a personal record for every customer, the boffins have also revealed the most popular lists from across the world.

They have revealed who the most streamed artists of 2019 are, most streamed tracks, albums, and podcasts.

Spotify has also let us in on who the top artists from the decade are.

You can see who made it in the list below:
