Spotify has released its most streamed music of 2019, and Soaked from 19-year-old pop sensation Benee has come out on top.
Benee's Soaked was New Zealand's most streamed local song of 2019, according to Spotify's recently-released data. The track is currently sitting at more than 27 million streams on Spotify.
Homegrown favourites Six60 took out the next four spots with their tracks Vibes, The Greatest, Don't Forget Your Roots, and Don't Give It Up.
Unsurprisingly Six60 were also New Zealand's most streamed local act of 2019, followed by Sons of Zion and Lorde.
American singer and songwriter Khalid was New Zealand's most streamed international artist of 2019, and Sunflowers by Post Malone took the #1 spot for the most streamed track.
