For the second year in a row, Taylor Swift was the most-streamed artist on Spotify both globally and in Philadelphia.

Happy Spotify Wrapped day to all who celebrate! For the uninitiated, today is when users of the music streaming app find out what tunes have filled their ears the most during the past year – and then flood social media with posts about it.

The 2024 Wrapped data was released Wednesday morning and can be accessed via Spotify. Globally, Taylor Swift is the top artist of the year on Spotify for the second year in a row, and she has the top album, "The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology." Another Pennsylvania pop princess, Sabrina Carpenter, from Bucks County, has the most-streamed song globally with "Espresso," and the third-most played album with "Short n' Sweet."
