At 19, The Kid Laroi has already made quite an impact overseas.
His single Love Again came second on the list after being streamed more than 146 million times since it was released in January this year. About 30 million Spotify users listen to the song each month.
Old school pop sensation Kylie Minogue topped the list after her latest single Padam Padam was streamed more than 40 million times across the globe in just two months.
Dom Dolla came fourth with his collaboration with US singer Nelly Furtado Eat Your Man.
Triple J Unearthed talent Go-Jo came in ninth with Mrs Hollywood getting over 20 million streams in four months.

Spotify’s Head of Music Alicia Sbrugera said dance and electronic music by Dom Dolla, Timmy Trumpet, Shouse, PNAU and Luude featured high on the list because of the demand for upbeat party songs during the Northern Hemisphere summer.
“The vast majority of these releases have happened in the lead up to the American and European summer season,” she said.
“These artists have built huge audiences overseas, touring on the festival and club runs.”
She said artists like Dom Dolla have opened up new audiences overseas by collaborating with American singers or musicians.
“Artists like Luude and Dom Dolla play their new tracks in their live sets before they drop and that has an impact when the song is released,” she added.

Social media has also helped to propel emerging artists like Go-Jo into the international spotlight.
He became a ‘stream dream’ after a TikTok of him playing his pop gem Mrs Hollywood on his guitar to random people on Bondi Beach blew up in America.

Chugg Music CEO Andrew Stone said his viral videos started the buzz and now more fans are searching for the full length song on streaming.
“We’re just getting started on how big this song could be,” Mr Stone said.
Go-Jo’s social media content grabs so much attention he has been able to win over a huge amount of listeners. Before platforms like TikTok and YouTube became big, artists could have only done this by getting their song played regularly on radio, he said.
“About 85 per cent of the audience for his Bondi clip came from the US and it went international straight away,” Mr Stone said.
“Now, in terms of streams for Mrs Hollywood, it’s two thirds international and a third from Australia.”
