Recurrent Spotify Streams of Past Hits

Recommended Posts

These are the streams of the 50 biggest Hot 100 hits that peaked in 2010 and their current (Mar 19, 2021) daily Spotify streams. I also recorded their daily streams on May 9, 2020, so you can compare how much they've increased.

I recorded the daily streams for all the big 2003-2018 peaking hits last May, so I'll be updating those with the current streams next, probably over the next month or so.

2011's 50 biggest hits and their current (Mar 21, 2021) daily Spotify streams, and comparison to May 10, 2020 streams. Also added Tanooki's points to the table, and calculate the streams vs Hot 100 points.

Even if you include the streams from both versions of E.T., it's still the smash hit that has the worst recurrent streams. Party Rock Anthem didn't age particularly well either. Among the more mid-sized hits, Mr. Know It All seems very forgotten, and Tonight (I'm Lovin'/****in' You), Till The World Ends, Blow and Just A Kiss didn't fare too well either.

 

If you're surprised Stereo Hearts is the top song, that might be temporary, we'll see. Gym Class Heroes' 2005 hit, Cupid's Chokehold, has been going viral in the last couple weeks, and is doing over 1 million streams daily on Spotify Global, which has caused Stereo Hearts to also get a boost. Paradise has also been getting great recurrent streams, but that could be partly because the Spotify stats are global and Coldplay's hits are bigger in other countries than on the US Hot 100.

BTW Cupid's Chokehold is basically a cover of Supertramp's 1979 hit "Breakfast In America". That means they are arguably responsible for making two trash songs rise from the grave and dominate their respective years' (2005 & 2011) recurrent charts. Stream the superior discography here :gaycat5:

Screaming at people listening to Taio Cruz in 2021 :deadbanana2:Back then people were absolutely sure those songs would be forgotten by 2013 :deadbanana2:

 

I don't think people realize how big Bruno is :deadbanana2:

 

Question to the OP: Did you include TOTGA acoustic? I was a bit shocked to find out it's one of Katy's biggest hits on Spotify.

This is super interesting, thank you. I'm pretty shocked by Stereo Hearts and how well Kesha is still doing.

2012's 50 biggest hits and their current (Mar 25, 2021) daily Spotify streams, and comparison to May 10, 2020 streams.

Sexy And I Know It has the worst recurrent streams among the smash hits.

 

Although the average increase for these 50 songs (+67%) was bigger than for the previous two years, the increases for the 3 most streamed songs of the year - STIUTK, Locked Out of Heaven and Payphone, were even greater.

 

Where Have You Been and Domino are continuing to benefit from big viral boosts, that they experienced in February and January respectively.

2013's 50 biggest hits and their current (Mar 27, 2021) daily Spotify streams, and comparison to May 11, 2020 streams.

Summertime Sadness posted the highest streams, which includes both the album and remix versions. Although it was surely boosted by Chemtrails Over the Country Club's release, it was still doing great numbers beforehand. Treasure and When I Was Your Man also got a decent boost from Leave The Door Open's success, but were also among the top performing songs of the year regardless.

 

Royals and Blurred Lines are underperforming somewhat considering how huge they were at the time. Despite Ribs not even making it onto the Hot 100, these days, that is the Lorde song that's being streamed the most. But Harlem Shake is by far more forgotten, which makes sense considering it's mostly just a soundtrack to a meme than something that was consumed like a "normal song".
