That&#8217;s 9.6% more than in 2024. In the US, users streamed 1.4 trillion times, which is also an increase of 4.6%&nbsp;from the previous year&#8217;s numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report also offered some insight into users&#8217; listening habits. The numbers indicate a preference for older music, with less than half of streams\u201443%\u2014coming from songs released between 2021 and 2025. Despite this, a large number of those total streams belong to some of the year\u2019s biggest releases\u2014<em>The Life of a Showgirl<\/em> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/songs\/taylor-swift\">Taylor Swift<\/a>\u00a0and <em>I&#8217;m the Problem<\/em> by Morgan Wallen. Both had over 5 million album equivalent units, which combines both sales and streaming numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few genres also attracted some new listeners. Christian music in particular enjoyed a spike in popularity in the US, with an increase of 18.5% from 2024, while rock saw an increase of 6.4%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Rock is the largest growth genre this year, meaning it grew its share of the streaming pie the most,&#8221; Jaime Marconette, vice president of music insights and industry relations for Luminate, said in a statement. &#8220;Though rock streaming in general leans catalog (tracks older than 18 months), the genre posted the second highest total of new current streams this year.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Streams of Latin music also increased by 5.2%. Many of those streams can be attributed to Bad Bunny, who had 5.3 billion streams alone, accounting for 4.38% of all Latin streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI artists also received a high number of streams\u2014nearly 300 million, in fact. Xania Monet&nbsp;leads them, with 125 million&nbsp;streams. Monet is also notable for being the first AI act to debut on a Billboard radio chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Top 10 Songs Streamed Globally in 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, &#8220;Die With a Smile&#8221; \u2014 2.858 billion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>HUNTR\/X (Ejae, Audrey Nuna, Rei Ami) from&nbsp;Kpop Demon Hunters,&nbsp;&#8220;Golden&#8221; \u2014 2.430 billion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alex Warren, &#8220;Ordinary&#8221; \u2014 2.403 billion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ros\u00e9 and Bruno Mars\u2019 &#8220;APT.&#8221; \u2014 2.236 billion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Billie Eilish, &#8220;Birds of a Feather&#8221; \u2014 2.133 billion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bad Bunny, &#8220;DtMF&#8221; \u2014 1.701 billion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kendrick Lamar&nbsp;and SZA, &#8220;Luther&#8221; \u2014 1.672 billion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Benson Boone, &#8220;Beautiful Things&#8221; \u20141.630 billion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sombr, &#8220;Back to Friends&#8221; \u2014 1.587 billion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gracie Abrams, &#8220;That&#8217;s So True&#8221; \u2014 1.544 billion<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(Photo by Jonathan Raa\/NurPhoto via Getty Images)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/license\/1996184374?adppopup=true\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/license\/2196837244?adppopup=true\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Streaming completely changed the way we listened to music, and it&#8217;s only getting more popular.
