Deezer has revealed the top artists of 2025 – one of several platforms to unveil its streaming stats for the past year. The Deezer lists have arrived ahead of Spotify Wrapped.
My Deezer Year includes a personal experience for each user, with a retrospective of the artists, albums and songs that defined the past 12 months for them.
Overall, Lady Gaga was named the most streamed artist worldwide, while Apt by Rosé & Bruno Mars was the most streamed song.
In another tough year for UK talent, Lola Young was the standout success with Messy as the fourth most streamed song. It was also the most shared song on Deezer of the past year.
On average, Deezer users listened to 122.8 hours of music globally, with more than 691 songs from 402 artists, and discovered 357 new songs. Almost 12% of all Deezer subscribers are a superfan of one or more artists.
Azzedine Fall, director of music & culture, Deezer said: “In 2025 we’ve seen many artists experimenting and crossing boundaries between genres in new ways. Rosalía, Bad Bunny, Oklou and Tyler The Creator all have pushed us into new emotional territories by blending styles that once seemed incompatible with mainstream success. These projects sparked discussion, challenged our expectations, and continued to expand the definition of pop music.
“Globally, women dominated the charts on Deezer, with Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish in the top three for 2025. They all have delivered creative new projects that resonated with worldwide audiences.”

Azzedine Fall added: “Next year we’re looking at three major trends for music consumption. Firstly, contextual listening will grow, with music being chosen to match exact moments and moods.
“Secondly, we’re expecting to see a continued increase of long-form projects with clear artistic vision and storytelling, told through albums and longer tracks, as well as intimate live sessions. Live events is a sector in which we will continue to expand, to support strong artistic choices both inside and outside the app.
“Finally, we expect the relevance of back catalogue music to continue increasing, with classics resurfacing in new contexts and being enjoyed by newer and younger audiences.”
