Meet Frisk's Most-Played Acts of 2026
One name has been in the car with you more than any other this year, and he is not even close to the rest.
Think about the songs that have been with you this year. The school run, the drive home, the Friday kitchen. Some names have been in the car with you far more than others, and one of them is not close.
Top of the Pile: David Guetta
3,833 plays. The next name down is not within a thousand of him.
Here is how he did it though, and it is very David Guetta. Those plays come from 26 different records. He is hardly ever on his own. He turns up alongside Becky Hill, alongside Teddy Swims, alongside Jennifer Lopez, and every time he does, that is another one on the pile.
The Ten You Have Heard Most
- David Guetta - 3,833
- Calvin Harris - 2,341

The One Who Did It On Her Own
Look down that list and nearly everyone got there the same way, by teaming up. David Guetta on 26 different records. Calvin Harris on 14. Becky Hill on eight.
Then there is Taylor Swift at number nine, on 1,280 plays, all of them under her own name and nobody else's. She is the only one in the ten who did not have any help.
Jazzy, Out of Nowhere
Third. Two years ago most people round here could not have named her. Now she is ahead of Becky Hill, Joel Corry and Bebe Rexha, and she has done it in a year.
What Your Year Sounds Like
Nine of your top ten are dance records, and the tenth is the biggest pop star on the planet.
That is the station in one list. A brilliant song is a brilliant song, and it gets played whoever made it.
Four months of the year still to go. Guetta has a lead, but he has been caught before.
