Kingfishr's viral hit Killeagh dominated our Spotify accounts this year

Spotify Unwrapped is here, with the streaming service informing its patrons of their listening habits for 2025.

Data from Spotify has revealed the songs and artists we listened to most, and it's no surprise the top song of the year is Killeagh by Kingfishr, which went viral over the summer. It outperformed Alex Warren’s Ordinary and Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan.

For the very first time, Spotify is unveiling Wrapped with a cinematic film it describes as a celebration of the artists, fans and moments that defined culture in 2025.

Directed by the visionary video director KC Locke, the film features an extraordinary ensemble of the year's biggest artists, including Kingfishr.

The top artist in Ireland was Taylor Swift, who claimed the top spot for the third year running, with Zach Bryan, who recently announced two gigs in Cork's Páirc Uí Chaoimh, in second, followed by Kingfishr, Sabrina Carpenter, and Drake.

Another Irish group lay claim to this year's most-streamed album, with Amble's debut LP Reverie coming in ahead of Stick Season by Noah Kahan and Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet.

When it comes to podcasts, The 2 Johnnies Podcast takes the title as the most-streamed podcast in Ireland, followed by The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett and The Joe Rogan Experience.
