This new career peak 

[Dear Reader]

Billie's streaming power 

[Hurem]

BIRDS is definitely ending up as one of the biggest songs on Spotify in a couple of years, mark my words.

[jdanton2]

it is closing the gap with Espresso which so far is the most streamed song this year .

Another 2 billion incoming...

[Born to Run]

This ******* classic 

[EarthJang]

What Was I Made For? deserve this so much, not this mid ass song 

[Katamari]

Wait what is this picture  

[newaespa]

7 months of huge auto play, tiktok advertisement, and play listing is insane but at least it is kinda environmental friendly  

[charot]

An actual hit vs. fan driven 

[naval23]

Damn it actually was so massive - it's going to outstream Espresso?! 

[VioletsandRoses]

SOTY 

 

Anti Hero's streams are so low. The way it was competing was Flowers and Kill Bill, and now it's almost 1b streams below them 

[RoseBud]

 

Is that really that good though ?  I mean it's only tenth so why get so excited ? 

[AMIT]

Not surprised. It's extremely joyful and evocative. Pop perfection. 

[Blackout2006]

UGH not these outstanding stats for what has now become one of the biggest female songs of the 2020s. We love a re-peak 

[B-Luke]

BOAF is liked by all age groups and cultures, this makes absolutely sense. Although this is no shade to AH, I love both songs.

This is like a Cranberries song with a bedroom pop new wave production. It appeals to pop, rock, alternative, downtempo and more genres fans. It also sounds like a normal pop song but it's actually got a very weird structure, and I think that's a key part of its appeal and what keeps it fresh through repeated listens:

 

Starts off simple enough, that lil riff and then Verse 1 is obvious. Then the birds of a feather we should stick together section sounds like the pre (unusual for the title to be in the pre), but then it goes into the I don't know what I'm crying for bit which is like a second pre chorus, and then I'll love you till the day that I die sort of acts like the chorus but melodically it doesn't feel like a true chorus should and feels more like a post chorus. Then we go back to Verse 2, same melody as the first, ok. And then after that it starts getting weird, with the three other sections overlapping and coming in and out, none of which fully repeat, and then that MGMT esque outro melody. It's very unusual for a huge pop hit to not have an identifiable chorus. Even when they set out to make a 'basic' pop hit, they can't help themselves and throw in some curveballs. God bless Billie & Finneas.

Goodness it's already at 1.7b? GIANT hit omg
