Ariana Grande and Drake were The Most -streamed female and male artists of the decade

Spotify has revealed its biggest songs, albums and artists of The Last decade, with Drake emerging as The Most -streamed artist of the 2010s.

The Canadian star has racked up More Than 28 billion streams, with his most popular song, One Dance, played 1. 7 billion times alone.

It was dwarfed by Ed Sheeran 's Shape Of You, whose 2. 4 billion streams, made it the decade's most listened-to track.

2019's biggest song was Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello 's Senorita.

Released in June, the island-flavoured duet has already been played one billion times. Billie Eilish 's Bad Guy isn't far behind, on 990 million streams.

Eilish's debut Album , When We All Fall Asleep Where Do We Go, was also the year's most popular Album - the First Time a female artist has topped Spotify's end-of-year survey.

In the UK, however, Eilish played second fiddle to Lewis Capaldi whose debut Album , Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent, topped the chart.

His ubiquitous ballad Someone You Loved was also the year's most-streamed song.

Spotify's data also revealed some quirky facts: Modern Bollywood was the year's fastest-rising genre; The Most popular mood-based playlist was "feel good," followed by "lit"; and The Top podcast genre was comedy.

Here are The Music charts in full.

The end-of-decade charts are presumably skewed towards more recent songs because of the growth in Spotify's user-base. The service had just 7 million users in 2009, but now boasts 248 million monthly active users, of which 113 million are paid subscribers.

Later This Week , Spotify will unveil the latest incarnation of its "" feature, allowing users to generate a personalised breakdown of The Music they listened to in 2019.

Other streaming services, including Apple Music and Amazon Music, are expected to reveal their own data later this month.
