Spotify Top Global Artist 2026 on Polymarket US
If Kendrick Lamar is ranked the top artist globally on Spotify in 2026, this market will settle to Yes. Outcome verified by Spotify. The relevant ranking is the 2026 edition of the Spotify Top Artists Globally ranking released as part of the annual Spotify Wrapped campaign (see past edition: https://newsroom.spotify.com/2025-12-03/wrapped-top-artists-songs-albums-podcasts-audiobooks/). This ranking will be used for resolution even if it is released before the end of calendar year 2026.

Resting (maker) orders pay nothing; orders that take liquidity pay the fee. Formula: 9.5% × price × (1 − price) per share on orders that take liquidity (accounts under $10,000 of 30-day volume; 6.95% in a new account's first week and above $250,000). Break-even assumes you hold to settlement; trading out early pays the fee twice.

- Whoever posts the resting orders and collects the spread without paying a fee.
- The venue, on every fee.
- Not, on average, the person clicking buy because the chart is going their way. That was us.
