In the 2020s, music streaming platforms have experienced constant growth, with Spotify emerging as a giant in this regard. When artists release new music, fans instantly put on their headphones and immerse themselves in the first listen of a new song. Since the beginning of 2020, many fan-favorite artists have made their long-awaited returns and released some of the most defining songs of the decade.

Adele unleashed her comeback single “Easy On Me” in 2021, followed by the highly acclaimed album “30.” Harry Styles made his return in 2022 with the LP “Harry’s House,” carried by the global hit “As It Was,” which is currently one of the most streamed songs in Spotify history. In early 2023, Miley Cyrus also returned with the album “Endless Summer Vacation,” whose lead single, “Flowers,” became one of the biggest hits of her career.

In recent years, we have also witnessed the rise of Olivia Rodrigo. Her debut album, “Sour,” earned her numerous accolades, including three Grammy Awards. The lead single “Drivers License,” released in January 2021 as her official debut single, became an instant hit and remains the most streamed debut song in a single day on Spotify as of 2024.

The 2020s is undeniably Taylor Swift‘s era. With albums like “Folklore,” “Midnights,” and “The Tortured Poets Department,” as well as the ‘Taylor’s Version’ series, the pop superstar has accompanied music enthusiasts every day of this decade. She has broken numerous streaming records, establishing herself as the most defining artist of our generation.
