Crazy that the top 5 were all released in the same year…

An interesting observation! Shows how big streaming really became after 2019

 

OT:

Wait, I didn't know Bad Guy was still in the top three  

Is there any site that allows you to check how much a song has been streamed in a country?

[Finkypop]

The bigger, actually iconic song won

Kworb has a section here that lets you see the total of each song for the time it spent on each weekly/daily chart worldwide and in individual countries (obvs it's not complete as it doesn't count streams form when the song was out of the top 200 fo each chart)

The payola is real.

[Strawberry Bubble]

baby, let the games begin 

[xfreshkidxx]

the better song won 

[MalibuBarbiieDelish]

Was that even a single?

[Taylena]

2.6B streams by the end of the year seems doable. 

[Walk_Away21]

What a turn of events from the Ariantors bragging in 2019 about the queen of streaming. And ATRL was right for once about Cruel Summer being the obvious single.

[Miley Cyrus]

Both are bad songs

[Taylor fanboy]

Both pink albums following their underrated masterpiece interesting!

[bielneira]

"Cruel Summer" is coming for "Dance Monkey" LOL

[Ms. Togekiss]

The bigger and better song won 

[RideOrDie]

but atrl told me she hasn't had a hit since bad blood and no one knows her 'hits'...

 Yep, it'll get to #1 by Feb next year. 

[Vegvisir]

Blah blah blah, chart placements, charting streaks, sales figures, tour revenue, merch revenue, album variants... every topic on Taylor revolves around numbers, money and beating everyone else. It's so boring and depressing. Like are we supposed to be impressed or shocked that the billionaire white pop star has nabbed ANOTHER consumption record lol

 

Would love to hear more about how her fans interpret her art, but sometimes it feels like most Swifties stan her wealth and success more than anything else

Girl?? Open her base thread or her album thread and you'll see all this. 

[B-Luke]

If you were to told me in 2019 Billie, Ari and the Dance Monkey girl would look like this 5 years from now I-

 

[Moonlight Nation]

No complaints from my part. "Cruel Summer" is a brilliant pop song while I find "7 rings" to be an absolute disservice to Ariana as an artist. Shameful that the streaming public made it her biggest hit.

 

With all respect to Tones And I, but "Dance Monkey" doesn't deserve to be the most streamed song by a woman on Spotify. I would be more than happy to see "Cruel Summer" joining the all-time top 10. Lord knows The Weeknd and Post Malone can only do so much carrying that tragic selection of songs. 

 

granted, I genuinely enjoy "Shape Of You" too, but I know it's controversial around here.

Cruel Summer was forced to our throats. Still on so many playlists.
