Given her huge success over the past 12 months - she’s conquered sales, streaming, touring and even the box office - it would have been a surprise if anyone other than Taylor Swift had been named Apple Music’s Artist of the Year for 2023. And she has indeed taken the crown, setting a new Apple Music record for the most listeners of any artist in a single year.
The first 10 months of 2023 also saw an incredible 65 different Taylor Swift songs land in Apple Music’s Global Daily Top 100 - again, more than any other artist. She’s done pretty well, then.
