Resolution criteria on PolyGram: Spotify releases an annual report of its most streamed artist (see: https://newsroom.spotify.com/2025-12-03/wrapped-top-artists-songs-albums-podcasts-audiobooks/). This market refers to the most streamed Spotify artist for 2026. This market will resolve according to the name of the artist listed by Spotify as the top artist of 2026. If Spotify does not release who their top artist for 2026 is by January 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "No". The resolution source for this market will be official information from Spotify, typically released as part of Spotify Wrapped.
PolyGram is an on-chain prediction market where you trade YES or NO outcome shares with real USDC on Polygon. For this market, buy YES if you believe the event will happen, or NO if you think it won't. Your maximum loss is your stake — winning shares pay $1.00 each at resolution. Unlike sportsbooks, there is no house edge: prices are set by supply and demand from other traders and reflect the crowd's real-time probability.

Spotify publishes annual rankings of its most-streamed artists as part of its Wrapped campaign, typically released in early December. The 2026 edition will determine which artist accumulated the highest total streams across the calendar year, with Spotify's official announcement serving as the sole resolution source. The market requires Spotify to publish this ranking by 31 January 2027; failure to do so triggers a "No" resolution.
Historical precedent suggests Spotify consistently releases Wrapped data within its established December window. The 2024 rankings crowned Taylor Swift as the top artist globally, whilst previous years have seen dominance from artists including The Weeknd, Bad Bunny and Drake. These patterns indicate that Spotify's annual reporting is reliable and predictable, though the identity of the top artist remains volatile year-to-year depending on release schedules, touring cycles and streaming momentum. The 67% implied probability currently reflected on Polymarket's order book suggests traders assess a moderately high likelihood that Spotify will release the 2026 data within the specified timeframe.
Key catalysts centre on Spotify's corporate communications calendar and any potential operational disruptions. The company has maintained consistent Wrapped releases for over a decade, establishing strong institutional practice. Traders should monitor Spotify's investor relations announcements and any public statements regarding 2026 reporting timelines. Additionally, broader music industry events—including major artist releases and touring schedules throughout 2026—will shape streaming distributions, though these do not directly affect whether Spotify publishes its rankings.
The following lists contain the most streamed songs and albums as well as chart records on the audio streaming platform Spotify.
