prettyinpink940 Posted October 22 Posted October 22 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?
dumbsparce Posted October 22 Posted October 22 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.
itshyolee Posted October 22 Posted October 22 It's a cute little dance bop that probably brought cheer and joy to lots of people during a dark time. 1
CRUNK. Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Its a song for all generations. The first song in ages my parents wanna listen to. 3
bringdanoize Posted October 22 Posted October 22 (edited) 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. Edited October 22 by bringdanoize
Illuminati Posted October 22 Posted October 22 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 1
Bloodflowers. Posted October 22 Posted October 22 It was cool and had an edge with younger generation while also feeling nostalgic for older generation A bop for everyone 2
Shaner69 Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Because it was a good song like Levitating it didn't flop and drop people liked it.
Badgalbriel Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Because it was a great song during a time that sound was not too tired 1
Taylor fanboy Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Everything said above can be applied to other songs so I'm just calling it (Fate) 1
Dolce Vita Posted October 22 Posted October 22 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 1
Virgos Groove Posted October 22 Posted October 22 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.). 1
