Spotify has unveiled its highly anticipated year-end data, giving Canadians a detailed look at their collective listening habits for 2025. The streaming giant's annual Wrapped campaign highlights the artists, songs, and albums that captured the nation's attention over the past twelve months.
Drake Reigns Supreme on Home Turf
In a result that may surprise few, Toronto's own Drake emerged as the most-streamed artist in Canada for 2025. The global hip-hop icon, who performed at Scotiabank Arena in late October, continues to demonstrate an unwavering hold on the Canadian music scene. His consistent output and cultural dominance have solidified his position at the pinnacle of the country's streaming charts.
The Soundtrack of the Year
Beyond the top artist ranking, Spotify's data provides a snapshot of the year's sonic landscape. The lists of the most-streamed songs and albums reveal the tracks that became anthems and the full-length projects that listeners revisited most frequently throughout the year. This data offers invaluable insights into the shifting tastes and trends within the Canadian music market.
Global Trends with a Local Lens
While the global Wrapped summary for 2025 saw Bad Bunny dethrone Taylor Swift as the world's most-streamed artist, the Canadian data tells its own distinct story. The local charts often blend international megastars with homegrown talent, reflecting the unique cultural blend of the country's listeners. Spotify's personalized Wrapped experience, which launched in early December, allows individual users to see their own top artists and genres, creating a shareable social media moment that has become a yearly tradition for millions.
The release of Wrapped data on December 03, 2025, marks a key moment for both the music industry and fans, offering a data-driven retrospective on the year that was. For artists, appearing on these lists signifies major commercial success and cultural impact. For listeners, it's a chance to reflect on the music that defined their past twelve months.
