Noticeably missing from the list are some of Houston's best-known artists who released projects this year, including Beyoncé, Megan Thee Stallion and Lizzo.

Trailing just behind Ocasio for Houston's Top Artists of 2022 on the music platform is Drake in second place, Taylor Swift in third, The Weeknd in fourth, and Kanye West in fifth. It's the first time an artist has ever accomplished the feat. The Puerto Rican megastar -whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio-is also the most-streamed artist in the world on Spotify in 2022, his third year in a row. According to the music platform, Bayou City listeners streamed singer song-writer Bad Bunny the most in 2022. Spotify has released Wrapped data for cities this year and the results for Houston may surprise you. Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny were among the most listened to artists on Spotify in 2022, with the Puerto Rican rap star winning out as most popular artist globally and in Houston.
