Ed Sheeran has topped Spotify's list of the most influential artists under the age of 25.
Second place on the list - which is is based on total streams, number one hits, and volume and growth of streams over the past 12 months - went to US singer Ariana Grande, with Britain's Sam Smith in third position.
One prominent name who did not feature on the list was Taylor Swift, who decided to remove her hits from the streaming service in November last year, arguing artists were not being fairly rewarded for their music.
