From there, it took a few more years for charts such as the Billboard Hot 100 to factor in streaming numbers. It’s worth noting that while Spotify currently boasts 180 million monthly active listeners in 65 countries, the Swedish streaming service originally launched in a handful of European markets, and didn’t open up to the U.S. 1 single “One Dance” and Ed Sheeran’s record-breaking “Shape of You” line up with their popularity on the charts that year.
Later entries such as Gotye and Kimbra’s 2012 smash “Somebody That I Used to Know,” Pharrell Williams’ 2014 hit “Happy,” Drake’s first No. The rundown of the most-streamed song in each year since Spotify’s launch offers up slightly more variety.Ī few unexpected singles made the list, including The Killers‘ 2008 song “Human,” which dropped roughly around Spotify’s launch date, and Don Omar and Lucenzo’s 2010 track “Danza Kuduro,” which was featured in the closing credits of the 2011 blockbuster movie Fast Five. Considering the exponential growth of its user base over the past few years, it’s no surprise that the lists are dominated by artists who have been the most popular over the same timeframe, such as Drake, Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Eminem, and Post Malone.
Spotify is officially launched 10 years ago, and today the streaming service shared its Decade of Discovery report revealing the most-streamed artists, albums, and songs.
