Spotify has revealed its annual Year in Music lists, naming the most-streamed artists, albums, tracks and moments that Kiwis - and music lovers around the world - danced to in 2018.
Hip hop megastar Drake has taken out the top spot in many of the big categories, toppling Ed Sheeran who topped the lists last year.
Globally, Drake is the most-streamed artist, album and track, with a total of 8.2 billion streams this year alone, making him Spotify's most-streamed artist of all time.
Drake had similar success here in New Zealand, except for when it came to best album, where Kiwis seemed to prefer Post Malone's Beerbongs & Bentleys, making it the most-streamed album of the year in NZ.
The most streamed female artist - both globally and in New Zealand - was pop star Ariana Grande, who nabbed the top spot off the back of her hit fourth album Sweetener and her latest single Thank U, Next, clocking up more than 3 billion streams this year.
She's joined on the list of most-streamed female artists by the likes of Dua Lipa, Cardi B, Taylor Swift and Rihanna.
Here on home soil, Kiwis' favourite New Zealand artist was Six60, who took out the title of most-streamed NZ artist, while Lorde took the top local female artist spot.
Also on the list were Kiwi favourites like Katchafire, Fat Freddy's Drop and Sons of Zion.
One of the more interesting observations came from Spotify's top lists by age group where the top track for almost every age group was by Drake.
The exceptions were those aged 17 and under who preferred XXXTentacion, 35-44 year-olds who preferred Ed Sheeran and 30-34 year-olds, whose top two tracks were Baby Sleep Shhh: The Perfect Settling Tool for Babies and White Noise For Baby Sleep.
