# Top Artist 2026

Live · $2,731,750 traded · listed on Kalshi, Polymarket, Polymarket US

## About

This market asks which artist will top Spotify's global streaming chart for calendar year 2026, as reported in Spotify's annual Wrapped release. Each outcome corresponds to a single artist being named Spotify's most-streamed act of the year; if Spotify does not publish a top artist by January 31, 2027, the market resolves to "Other." It is listed on Polymarket, Polymarket US, and Kalshi, with the bulk of the roughly $1.55M in volume concentrated on Polymarket.

Bad Bunny is the clear favourite, priced at 88.0% on Polymarket and 87.0% on both Polymarket US and Kalshi — a consensus around 88.0% and a tight cross-platform spread of just 1.5 points. Drake sits a distant second at a 9.5% consensus, followed by Taylor Swift near 6.0%. Below that, Bruno Mars, Chappell Roan, The Weeknd, and Sabrina Carpenter each cluster around 1.5%, with Morgan Wallen, Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and BTS near 1.0%.

The most notable cross-platform gap is on Drake, quoted at 10.0% on Polymarket US and 9.0% on Kalshi but only 5.3% on Polymarket — a 4.45-point spread. Overall, platforms broadly agree that Bad Bunny is the dominant favourite, with pricing differences confined mostly to the long tail.
