Tbh Shape of You was released in 2017, got these insane streams while also having sold millions of digital copies :deadbanana4:

I still don't know how it did all that lmao

It’s currently outstreaming Shape of You by around 1.7 M per day. If it keeps this pace it will overtake in around a year. I’m sure it will slow down though but I do think it will get there eventually.

It was a huge smash everywhere tbh 

Blinding Lights is one of the best songs to come out in the last 20 years. Well deserved 

Wait, how many streams does Old Town Road have with both version combined? :eek:

 

Congrats to Abel though, Blinding Lights absolutely deserve :heart2:

Blinding Lights is more global I think? Combined versions aren’t counted if I’m pretty sure. I’d have to check how much OTR’s been streamed with both versions combined on Spotify.

Shape of You felt massive in virtually every major music market like @getinthezone said. It has good recurrent streams too.

Yeah BL is definitely more global but I still would have expected OTR to rank higher since it's only #85 according to Wikipedia (only remix) :eek: I was mostly curious 'cause I currently can't check on Spotify's desktop version and I can't find data for the non-remix :chick3:

These numbers aren't right tho. Pretty sure Despacito + Despacito remix has around 2.5B streams

 

So Blinding lights would still be only the 3rd most streamed song ever

Despacito is still #2 with 2.7B. :angelo:I was referring to BL being #4
