Harris further noted, “The data behind Spotify’s Australian Music Global Impact List shows just how borderless music has become and how artists from Australia are connecting with listeners around the world in deeper and more meaningful ways than ever before.”
According to Spotify, the United States was the top export market for Australian artists in 2025, followed by the U.K. and Germany.
