MANILA - Songs by American indie pop band LANY were streamed by Filipinos on Spotify the most number of times this year, the music streaming platform announced on Tuesday.

Singer-songwriter Moira Dela Torre, Sheeran, Korean group BTS, and American band Maroon 5 also topped the list of most streamed artists.

The most-streamed track on Spotify in the country was "Mundo" by indie group IV of Spades, followed by "Kathang Isip" by Ben&Ben, "IDGAF" by Dua Lipa, "Tagpuan" by Dela Torre, and "The Middle" by Zedd, Maren Morris, Grey.

Dela Torre's "Malaya" album was most streamed, followed by Dua Lipa's self-titled album, Sheeran's "÷," LANY's self-titled album, and Lauv's "I Met You When I Was 18 (The Playlist)."

Internationally, Canadian rapper and singer Drake was the most streamed artist of 2018 with 8.2 billion streams this year, Spotify said in a statement.

Post Malone, XXXTENTACION, J Balvin, and Ed Sheeran, who held the top spot last year, rounded out the Top 5.

Drake's "God's Plan" was the most streamed track. His song "In My Feelings", which triggered a dance craze across the globe, is also in the top 5 list.

"SAD!" by rapper XXXTENTACION came in second, followed respectively by Post Malone hits "rockstar (feat. 21 Savage)" and "Psycho (feat. Ty Dolla $ign)."

Hip-hop continued to dominate Spotify’s charts in 2018, but last year’s surge in Latin music continued its growth. Apart from that, EMO Rap and Lo-Fi Beats were two genres that grew the most in 2018.

The streaming service on Thursday will make available its "Wrapped" microsite where subscribers can find their personal favorites and top-streamed tracks.
