As usual, Spotify has a month left before the end of the year its annual magazine “Wrapped” released. The most popular podcast in 2022 on Spotify in Germany was once again “Gemischtes Hack”, the format available exclusively on the platform secured the top spot in Spotify’s annual podcast charts for the fourth time. Jan Böhmermann and Olli Schulz came second with their Spotify exclusive podcast “Fest & Flauschig”, followed by the Spotify original podcast “Hobbylos” with YouTubers Rezo and Julien Bam.
This is followed by the true crime podcast “Mordlust” marketed by Seven.One Audio and “Crime” by ZEIT Online. This is followed by another Spotify exclusive podcast with “Dick & Doof” in sixth place. “Baywatch Berlin” with Klaas Heufer-Umlauf, Jakob Lundt and Thomas Schmitt is in seventh place. Behind it in the top 10 with the “News” of Deutschlandfunk, the “Tagesschau in 100 seconds” is the public service. The ZDF podcast “Lanz & Precht”, which started at the end of summer 2021, is in 10th place.
The most popular album of 2022 among German Spotify listeners is “Majestic” by rapper Luciano. Followed by Ed Sheeran’s ‘=” and RAF Camora’s ‘Future 1 & 2’. With “Beautiful Girl”, Luciano also delivers the most successful song on Spotify in Germany in 2022. They are followed by “Longing” by Miksu/Macloud and t-low and the summer hit “Layla” by DJ Robin and Schürze, which at it has sometimes been hotly debated. Luciano is also the best artist 2022 on Spotify in Germany, top 3 complete RAF Camora and Bonez MC.
There is continuity in the Spotify playlists: as in the previous year, the top three places go to “Hot Hits Germany”, the hip hop playlist “Modus Mio” and “Deutschrap Brandneu”.
The most streamed song of 2022 worldwide on Spotify is “As It Was” by Harry Styles – the hit was able to garner 1.6 billion streams internationally on Spotify. As in the previous two years, the most successful international artist on Spotify is Bad Bunny, followed by Taylor Swift and Drake. With “Un Verano Sin Ti”, Bad Bunny also releases the world’s most successful album of 2022 on Spotify.
In the podcast category, the exclusive podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience” is number 1 internationally on Spotify, like last year, followed by another exclusive format, “Call Her Daddy”. As a newcomer, Anything Goes with Emma Chamberlain comes in third. Reason enough for Spotify to exclusively protect the YouTuber’s podcast from spring 2023.
