British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran is the year’s most streamed artist in the world on Spotify.
The streaming music service announced its top streaming artists, albums and songs of 2014 on Wednesday and Eminem topped the list in the United States.
Sheeran racked up more than 860 million listens on Spotify.
According to Spotify’s founder and CEO Daniel Elk, Katy Perry and Coldplay were the most-streamed female and group around the world, respectively, in 2014.
In the U-S, Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” was the most-streamed song of the year. Her album, The New Classic, was the second-most-streamed album in America behind Sheeran’s X.
Spotify said more than seven billion hours of music was streamed this year by more than 50 million users. It will reward listeners this month by offering new U-S users a premium, three-month membership for just 99 cents.
