12/5/17

Ed Sheeran is the king of Spotify in 2017 after being named most streamed artist globally and in his home country as well. Fellow WMG act Dua Lipa also scores high in the U.K., as do Little Mix, Coldplay and Stormzy.

Two British acts make the list of Top 5 most streamed artists in the U.K., with Atlantic star Sheeran at #1 and Little Mix (Syco) at #3. Drake is #2, Eminem #4 and The Weeknd #5. Similarly, when it comes to top females, Dua Lipa is the only Brit at #1, followed by Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift and Beyoncé. On the list of top males, three U.S. acts are sandwiched between Sheeran at #1 and Calvin Harris at #5: Drake, Eminem and The Weeknd.

Sheeran also wins on the album and singles stakes, with “Shape of You” the top performing track and Divide the most popular album. The only indie act mentioned below is Stormzy, whose ADA-distributed debut, Gang Signs & Prayer (#Merky), is #4 on top albums with 123.3m streams to date.
