Spotify reveals its annual 2021 Wrapped campaign and personalized user experience unveiling the top artists, albums, songs, playlists and podcasts from the creators that helped soundtrack the year for more than 381 million users worldwide. As part of this campaign, Spotify is breaking down on how the world listened to and discovered K-pop, including the artists, albums and songs that defined this globally growing genre.
If 2020 saw BTS become bonafide global stars, 2021 was the year they became a global supernova. With more than seven billion streams in 2021, the group is this year's top K-pop artist globally, and also the third overall most-streamed artist across the globe, coming in after Bad Bunny and Taylor Swift.
BTS also continued to dominate K-pop in the Philippines as the country’s most streamed K-pop artists, followed by Twice, Blackpink, Seventeen, and IU.
The band clinched the top four spots in the list of top K-pop songs with their tracks Butter, Dynamite, Permission to Dance, and Life Goes On. Their albums BE, Love Yourself 結 'Answer', and MAP OF THE SOUL:7 also emerged as the top three most-streamed K-pop albums in the Philippines and globally, a testament to the dedication and love of their fans.
