Spotify has released Canada’s most-played artists, songs, and albums for 2025 as part of its annual Wrapped campaign, offering a comprehensive look at the audio that defined the year. Toronto’s own Drake once again topped the list of the most-streamed artists in Canada, followed by Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen, The Weeknd, and Kendrick Lamar. This Canadian dominance extends globally, where The Weeknd and Drake took the third and fourth spots, respectively, behind the number-one ranked Global Top Artist, Bad Bunny, who held the title for the fourth time.
The most-streamed song in Canada for 2025 was “Ordinary” by American singer-songwriter Alex Warren, while the top-streamed album was I’m The Problem by American country music star Morgan Wallen. Significantly, Spotify observed a major surge of interest in Francophone music, noting a twenty percent listening increase in Quebec and an eleven percent jump across Canada. Pop songstress Charlotte Cardin’s “Feel Good” was the top French-Canadian song, and rock band Les Cowboys Fringants claimed the top Francophone artist spot, solidifying a powerful regional audio movement
- The continued dominance of Toronto artists Drake and The Weeknd, who rank in the top five both in Canada and globally, demonstrates that Canadian talent remains an unparalleled cultural export. This indicates a consistent local pride and global appeal that anchors Canada’s pop and rap consumption, even amid a surge of international competition.
- The top lists show a high degree of genre mixing, particularly the simultaneous popularity of American Country (Morgan Wallen’s I’m The Problem as the top album), mainstream Pop (Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga), and the increasing influence of screen-based media (the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack). This suggests the Canadian audience is highly eclectic, with its tastes increasingly driven by viral moments and international media rather than rigid genre loyalty.
- The dramatic surge in Francophone music consumption—a twenty percent increase in Quebec and eleven percent nationally—signals a significant cultural revitalization and growing digital presence for French-Canadian artists. This trend highlights the successful integration of regional language music onto the global streaming platform and reinforces the strong cultural identity and growing market share of Quebecois music within the Canadian landscape.
