Similar to the global charts, Swift dominated the artist and album list for Spotify users in the U.S.

The Winners: Along with Swift, there were multiple winners that can be identified from the list including country music and female artists.

For the business side of things, Universal Music Group NV UMGNFUNVGY looks to be a winner. Universal was the record company for many of the top streamed albums or the owner of smaller record labels the artists were on. This includes Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G, The Weeknd, Noah Kahan, Morgan Wallen and Chappell Roan.

Warner Music Group WMG can claim success for Benson Boone and Zach Bryan on the list. Sony Music, a unit of Sony Group Corp SONY, was behind SZA's album.

On the podcast side of things, Joe Rogan dominated both globally and in the U.S., which comes as he is no longer exclusive to Spotify. Rogan was recently ranked third on the Apple podcasts 2024 list, which showed he might not be number one on every platform outside of Spotify.
