Nearly eight years after his tragic passing, Avicii has officially entered Spotify’s list of the 100 most-streamed artists of all time, further cementing his legacy as one of the most influential figures in electronic music.
According to live Spotify rankings from Kworb, the Swedish DJ and producer currently sits at No. 96, with over 20 billion streams across the platform. The milestone highlights the enduring popularity of his music and its lasting impact on EDM culture.
Several of Avicii’s biggest hits continue to dominate streaming numbers. Six of his tracks have surpassed one billion streams, including the iconic “Wake Me Up,” which still generates more than one million streams every day.
On the same all-time streaming leaderboard, other major EDM names also appear, including David Guetta (25), Calvin Harris (44), The Chainsmokers (83), Marshmello (85) and Kygo (99). Their presence on the list shows how rare it is for electronic artists to maintain such long-term global popularity.
The achievement comes shortly after “Wake Me Up,” Avicii’s collaboration with Aloe Blacc, surpassed 3 billion streams on Spotify—a milestone reached by only a tiny number of songs in the platform’s history.
The track has been breaking records for years. Back in 2014, it became Spotify’s most-streamed song ever after crossing 200 million plays, and it later became the most highly certified EDM record in RIAA history.
Together with timeless tracks like “Levels” and “The Nights,” Avicii’s music continues to dominate playlists and remain a cornerstone of EDM discovery for new generations of listeners.
Since his death, Avicii’s catalog has kept growing its audience through both classic releases and carefully curated posthumous projects. His most recent release came in 2025, when his estate unveiled “Avicii Forever,” featuring the previously unreleased track “Let’s Ride Away” with Elle King.
