THE YEAR IN U.K. STREAMING

12/4/18

Drake and Dua Lipa are the most streamed artists in the U.K. in 2018 to date, according to Spotify, while Ed Sheeran is the top British act globally. Over at Apple Music, The Greatest Showman is the best-selling album. At both services, Universal and Warner rule.

The streaming companies have issued best sellers lists in the U.K. for 2018, which naturally crossover. However, while The Greatest Showman (Atlantic) rules Apple Music’s album chart, it doesn’t appear in Spotify’s Top 5.

In Spotify’s top 5 most streamed artists, tracks and albums for the U.K., Universal and Warner have eight entries apiece and Sony has four. In Apple’s list of best-selling albums, there are five British entries, and three in songs.
