Taylor Swift, Joe Rogan, and Prince Harry are amongst the people New Zealanders listened to most this year, according to this year's Spotify Wrapped results.

The streaming giant's annual event assesses mountains of listening data and gives users a unique snapshot of their listening habits. It stitches together our top artists, tracks and genres, counts up the minutes we listened, and reveals all the new music we learned along the way - with some interesting genre names at times.

In no great surprise, Taylor Swift has kept her crown as New Zealand's most streamed artist on Spotify, with the pop artist's record The Tortured Poets Department; The Anthology taking the number one spot as New Zealand's most-streamed album, followed by Billie Eilish's Hit Me Hard and Soft and Sabrina Carpenter's Short n Sweet.

Swift was the world's most streamed artist for the second year in a row, grabbing more than 26.6 billion streams. The Weeknd scored silver in the global stats, followed by Bad Bunny, Drake and Billie Eilish.

Rising popstar, Benson Boone, made his debut on this year's Wrapped list with his song 'Beautiful Things' which went viral on TikTok this year. Boone has taken out the title of New Zealand's most-streamed track. The American is set to play at Auckland's Spark Arena on January 24 - a resceduled show after two gigs at the smaller Powerstation venue sold out.

Worldwide, it was Sabrina Carpenter's 'Espresso' which was the most listened to song (1.6m streams) followed by the Boone banger and 'Birds of a Feather' by Billie Eilish.

SIX60 have taken the crown as the country's most-streamed local artist, followed by L.A.B, while the track 'Blue Eyed Māori' by Corrella took the number one place for the most-streamed local artist song.

Since Spotify Wrapped's launch in 2016, SIX60 has consistently featured in New Zealand's top-streamed lists, even surpassing some of the world's biggest artists like Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber back in 2021.

The Joe Rogan Experience was the most popular podcast in New Zealand this year, as well as the number one most listened to show on the platform globally. Hosted by the comedian and commentator, Joe Rogan, the podcast boasts 14.5 million followers on Spotify, with guests including Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, and US president Donald Trump.

Other popular podcasts in New Zealand this year were The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlet, The Morning Shift, Call Her Daddy, and Huberman Lab.

Spare by Prince Harry The Duke of Sussex had New Zealand listening this year, claiming the position as the most popular audiobook across the nation. Following this was It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover, which was adapted into the highly-anticipated film of the same name starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.

Rounding out the top five books we listened to this year are The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien, A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Mass, and Atomic Habits by James Clear.
