Spotify Wrapped: BTS & K-Clique Are The Most Streamed Artistes For 2019

2019 has blessed us with tons of good jams – from chilled indie hits to mainstream pop music up to sizzling latin numbers and of course, the world-dominating K-pop genre

Spotify, one of the leading music streaming platform, has recently launched its “Wrapped” campaign for this year. As stated in the press release, this annual year-end campaign revealed the leading artistes, songs, albums, playlists and podcasts that defined how over 248 millions of users have discovered their favourites in 2019.

We believe the power of K-pop genre has been going strong for these past years. In this case, Spotify has announced that South Korean sensation BTS (방탄소년단) is Malaysia’s most streamed artiste this year! For the uninitiated, the 7-member boy band has taken the world by storm this year with their biggest hit “Boy With Luv” featuring Halsey. Other highly-recommended songs that they have released this year are “Microcosmos” and “Make It Right” (with Lauv), just to name a few.

The local music scene saw a surprising twist, as up-and-coming rap ensemble K-Clique beats other mainstream acts including our resident Malaysian pop queen and king – Dato’ Siti Nurhaliza and Faizal Tahir – to become the most streamed local artiste.

Known for songs like “Mimpi” and “Sah Tu Satu”, the group consists of 8 talented gentleman – MK, Noki, Tuju, Somean, KDeaf, FareedPF, Gnello and NastyNas – are definitely worth the stan. Additionally, rising pop rock band Insomniacks has successfully rocketed their way up to the top 5 list, thanks to the popularity of their hit single “Pulang”.

In addition, “Wrapped” has come out with a specially-crafted “A Decade Wrapped” – the 1st time ever in Spotify’s history! For those who don’t know, “A Decade Wrapped” will take a look back at the 10-year-long journey of evolving music, culture and streaming through the eyes of fans, artistes and creators that have made it all possible.

Not only that, users will also get to see their personalised Spotify “Wrapped” which spoiled them with highlights on what they have listened to throughout the year 2019. If you want to find out more, feel free to click here.
