As we mentioned earlier today with the list of the most retweeted tweets of 2017, tis the season for year-end lists. One of those lists that we most look forward to seeing each year is Spotify’s “Year In Music.”

Let’s take a look at what (and who) we’ve all been listening to in 2017, as well as find out about a few musical gems we may have missed out on this year, shall we? We shall.

Spotify can reveal that Ed Sheeran is the most streamed artist of 2017 globally, and remains the #1 most streamed artist on Spotify with 47 million monthly listeners.

Ed Sheeran’s ÷ (Divide) was the most streamed album of the year worldwide with 3.1 billion streams, and ‘Shape of You’ became the most streamed track of all time on Spotify, now with over 1.4 billion streams.

Ed Sheeran absolutely dominated this year with the release of his record-breaking album, Divide,” said Stefan Blom, Spotify’s Chief Content Officer. “There is no doubt that 2017 was The Year of Ed Sheeran, and we are thrilled that so many millions of music fans have discovered, listened to, and shared his music on Spotify. Congratulations to Ed on an amazing achievement.”

Spotify also reports that Latin music-listening increased by 110% with “Despacito” and “Mi Gente” both hitting number one, plus 10 other Latin songs making Spotify’s Global Top 50.
