The Control singles are basically nonexistent on playlists. It seems her playlisting is very ‘90s focused with TTWLG, TA, GTIG and ATAP (and AFY) carrying her streams.

They need to get on it. Get her on that 80s playlist already, Randy! Control and RN don't deserve to go out like this. Its still relevant today! She is the first person to say "social injustice" on an album and now look at society today. She was ahead of her time. 

 

Even "if" doesn't have that much streams as it should. it should have at least 50m. its just unbelievable. 

One of the most 'iconic' compositions in US history, only 40M streams.

 

 

sadly this

 

131m while it should have around 300m

kylie only has cgyoomh with over 100m on spotify and a bunch of her singles deserved more 

actually even cgyoomh deserved 1b

A Dream by Debarge.

 

It's been used as a sample in so many iconic hits, but it's not one of their top recurrent songs 

Big hits =/= classics. None of these songs are classics except maybe Physical. 

 

The thing about streaming audiences is that long-term exposure sometimes is more fundamental to one song status than it's initial chart performance. Numbers won't be cute if the only people still listening to a song after it's peak are those that were around when it was first released.
