Our 2025 K-Pop Obsessions, Confirmed by Spotify’s Top Artists and Songs List!

Last December 5, 2025, Spotify officially dropped its Global Top K-Pop Artists and Songs of 2025 as part of this year’s Wrapped, aka the annual celebration of the artists, anthems, and trends that defined our listening habits. And once again, K-Pop proved it’s not just a genre… It’s a global movement.

This year, millions of fans across the world turned to Spotify to soundtrack their lives with K-Pop. In fact, listeners streamed over 181 billion minutes of K-Pop in 2025 alone. Its influence knows no borders, with the United States, Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, Brazil, Mexico, Thailand, Taiwan, India, and South Korea emerging as the biggest K-Pop-loving countries on Spotify.

The 2025 K-Pop Wrapped lists paint a picture of a genre that’s evolving fast—fueled by passionate fandoms, culture-defining moments, and artists who continue to push the sound into new territory.
