Kendrick Lamar's "Luther" (with SZA) was the most-streamed song on Spotify in Houston this year.

Why it matters: Houston's Wrapped tracks closely with U.S. and global listening, leaning into mainstream emotional pop and Latin chart-toppers.

The big picture: Bad Bunny ended Taylor Swift's two-year run as Spotify's top global artist, as men — including Drake and The Weeknd — returned to the platform's top five after being absent in 2024.

Spotify hasn't released local data for top artists yet. Swift was Houston's No. 1 artist the past two years.

Houston's top 5 songs:

"Luther" by Kendrick Lamar & SZA
"DtMF" by Bad Bunny
"Die With A Smile" by Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars
"Loco" by Neton Vega
"Birds of a Feather" by Billie Eilish
