How did Blinding Lights become so massive?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Blinding Lights is currently the most streamed song of all-time.

 

And its obviously an amazing song. 

 

What made the song so massive??

 

Just because it was released at the right time? And is a great song?

It perfected a formula that was already brewing but nowhere near as played out as it is today, largely due to his own subsequent releases. It'd flop miserably if it came out later than mid-2022.

It's a cute little dance bop that probably brought cheer and joy to lots of people during a dark time.

it is not the most streamed song of all time. Spotify isn't the only platform. Add Youtube Music numbers and it's actually not even top5.

Because it's a nice song that's it

I feel like it had organic demand, I remember The Weeknd put it out along with Heartless but Blinding Lights wasn't a single until some time later. It just kept growing on its own

It was cool and had an edge with younger generation while also feeling nostalgic for older generation 

 

A bop for everyone

Everything said above can be applied to other songs so I'm just calling it

a song with this particular soundscape was bound to smash at the time, 80s synthwave nostalgia had been brewing for a while in the late 2010s. all it took was an amazing song for it to fully take off

Not only is it a great song, but it perfectly encapsulates 80s nostalgia, from the synths to the Miami Vice motif.

 

It also came out at the perfect time, with capital-P pop making a resurgence in early 2020 (Say So, DSN, etc.).
