Legendary anthem?

 

Legendary look

 

 

Timeless hit

Classique 

A timeless song, music video and music video look. 
 

The true definition of a classic.  This is incredibly under-certified in the US, I wouldn't be surprised if this & Take On Me are near or at Diamond status. 

A classic  

One of the best songs of all time. Thank you to the DJs around the world who continue to use it in all their sets

A literal multi-gen classic 

So is this technically the most successful female-led song on Spotify from the 80s?

Oh wow  Are there any more songs from the 80s achieving this (besides Billie Jean)?

Yes, first billion. And RUTH is now #3 at 900 millions. #2 is Whitney.

13th 80s song

Surprised Prince doesn’t have a song on here yet. Do you have a list of his top streamed songs? I got to think 1999, When Doves Cry, and Purple Rain are close.

Forever a classic  the amount of music and culture this one jam spawned.

Definition of a classic! Everything about it is iconic. 

 

 

Very much deserved. Now let's get Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves at 1B too.
