Harry Styles’ ‘As It Was’ Tops Spotify’s 2022 List Of Most Streamed Songs

The song “As It Was” by Harry Styles has been named Spotify’s most streamed song of 2022. With close to 1.6 billion global streams, the former One Direction star is ranked at the top of the streaming platform’s rankings for listeners all over the world.

Spotify has revealed its own statistics for the top artists, songs, albums, and podcasts as part of its 2022 Wrapped campaign.

Apart from topping the songs chart, Harry was ranked seventh among top artists globally, with Bad Bunny reigning supreme for the third year in a row with more than 18 billion streams. Bad Bunny’s album “Un Verano Sin Ti” comes in first place on the albums list, just ahead of “Harry’s House,” which has three tracks on the songs list.

Meanwhile, “Anti-Hero” hitmaker Taylor Swift is second on the global artist list while topping the charts in the United Kingdom. Her new album “Midnights,” which was released last month, helped propel her to 805 million streams in the UK alone, with Drake, Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles, and Kanye West rounding out the top five.

In terms of global popularity, Bad Bunny and Taylor are followed by Drake, The Weeknd, and BTS, with Ed Sheeran and Harry Styles just missing out in sixth and seventh place, respectively. There is also a lot of love for new releases, with the top five albums in the UK all being recent releases, with Olivia Rodrigo’s “Sour” being the only one over 18 months old.
