Spotify Wrapped 2022 unveils Thailand's top lists of the year and the latest personalized features to discover your favorite songs, podcasts, artists, albums and more
Spotify today unveils its 2022 Wrapped campaign - announcing the top artists, albums, songs, playlists and podcasts that showcase the vibrant kaleidoscope of more than 456 million listeners around the world. Spotify users can also find their personalized Wrapped experience, with the latest features that celebrate how they soundtracked their year.
Globally, Bad Bunny, Taylor Swift, and Drake topped the Wrapped lists across most-streamed albums, tracks, and artists. For the third year in a row, Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny took the number one spot for the most-streamed artist globally, with more than 18.5 billion streams this year.
Closer to home, here's how Thailand listened this year. Topping the list of Thailand's Top Artists is K-Pop superstar group BTS for the third consecutive year, followed by the legendary Taylor Swift and BLACKPINK.
What's exciting is the local music scene and artists taking center stage this year, with four out of five Top Songs being Thai. The well-loved band Tilly Birds saw their hit ถ้าเราเจอกันอีก (Until Then) placing #2 in Top Songs, as well as their album It's Gonna Be OK (Deluxe) placing #4 in Top Albums and placing #5 on the Top Artists list.
Other Thai talents making their debut on the Top Lists this year include rising local artists like BELL WARISARA at #5 in Top Local Female Artists and Blackbeans climbing to the #4 spot of Top Local Groups. Further, for the first time, a Spotify Thailand RADAR artist claimed Top Song, as THEMOONWILLALWAYSBEWITHME reached the #1 spot with his hit ซูลูปาก้า ตาปาเฮ้.
"We are thrilled to see that Thai artists have continued to shine on the local stage, as seen on 2022's Spotify Wrapped results. This shows that Thais are increasingly listening to and supporting their homegrown talent, with an almost 50% increase in streams of local music," said Kossy Ng, Head of Music, Spotify Asia. "We're excited to continue working closely with local musicians and pave the way for more aspiring artists to flourish on the platform.
This local momentum is also seen in Spotify's playlists with ฉันฟังเพลงไทย (I Listen to Thai Songs) skyrocketing to Top Spotify Playlist just five months after its launch. One of the recent faces of the playlist, local band Tattoo Colour, saw more listeners playing their latest and older hits, gaining them the title of the fourth most-streamed artist in Thailand - first amongst local artists - and the third most-streamed group, after BTS and BLACKPINK.
"We are very grateful for the incredible year we've had, especially after being announced as Spotify's most-streamed local artist in Thailand", shared Tattoo Colour. "Spotify Wrapped is something we look forward to every year-end. Seeing how we rank in Top Lists and how our "Chao Noirs", our fans, are growing makes us motivated to be better artists. We're thankful for all the support and opportunities that Spotify has given us; elevating us on the platform through playlists and connecting us with our beloved listeners!"
