I thought Blinding Lights would get very close by now.

Well... it's closer... still "only" 352 million away

Changes of note:
Shape of You still number 1 being first to hit 3 billion streams, holding spot for 1,553 days now.
Someone You Loved leapfrogged Closer and One Dance to jump to #5 on the chart.
9 songs now hit 2 billion streams with Señorita joining the group.

Don't expect any of the newer songs to hit the top 20 anytime soon...

Stay should make it to the top 20 fairly easy. It still getting 4 million plays per day.

Changes of note:
Shape of You still number 1, holding spot for 1,609 days now.
Believer leapfrogged Bad Guy to hit number 10.
Stay jumped to close to top 50.

Shape of You still number 1, holding spot for 1,648 days now.
Perfect close to passing Bad Guy for 11.
Stay now at number 38.

Updates:

Shape of You still #1 and still only song streamed over 3 Trillion times. Has been #1 for 1,713 days but Blinding Lights under 200 billion away.

Sunflower overtook Closer for #7

Believer overtook both Perfect and Bad Guy for #10

Thinking Out Loud became the 14th song to be streamed over 2 Trillion times

Stay is at #20 being the first song from 2021 or later to crack the top 20, not to mention the top 50.

Stay and Heat Waves have a lot already for songs in current top 10

As It Was is apparently on fastest pace ever through 700m. I think this will be a 2020s hit that has legs into the future like Blinding Lights.

Update: Shape of You still #1, now for 1,790 days
Blinding Lights is closing the gap though, also hitting the 3 billion milestone and just over 100 million streams needed to catch Shape of You.

In other news: Stay and Lucid Dreams both hit the 2 billion milestone, Stay moving up to #15 all time.

In some posts I have been confusing billion with trillion, but checked and it's the billions milestones

Updated the post again, but this time to highlight that Shape of You has been #1 for 5 years straight but Blinding Lights is closing in.

Blinding Lights is pretty close!

As It Was has to be a long term player? Currently 1.3.

October update:
Shape of You #1 counter: 1,862


Quick Risers
NR "Stay" The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber 2.174 bil 9 July 2021

No new additions to top 10, but Shape of You is getting close to finally being dethroned. Sunflower also finally overtakes One Dance for the 6th spot.

November update:
Shape of You #1 counter: 1,893


Quick Risers
11(NR) "Stay" The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber 2.232 bil 9 July 2021

No new additions to top 10, but Shape of You is only 30 mil ahead of Blinding Lights. (Still feel like Shape of You will stay on top through the end of 2022 but its time is dated) Someone You Loved passed Rockstar for 4th, and Believer passed Senorita for 9th. Stay could crack top 10 within the year.

2023 Update:
I would say nothing happened but something REALLY big happened!


Yes after 1,929 days, Shape of You was FINALLY supplanted as #1 on Spotify.

Other songs to watch: Stay at #11 and Heat Waves at #13.

okay not going to do a full update, but I missed the point when Stay passed Senorita to become #10 on the charts

Rank the top 10 songs

Mine:

1. Dance Monkey
2. Blinding Lights
3. Shape of You
4. Someone You Loved
5. Believer
6. Closer
7. Senorita
8. One Dance
9. Rockstar
10. Sunflower

Edit - Missed that Stay is top 10 over Senorita, I'd put it in probably the same place

Blinding Lights
Shape of You
Closer
Stay
Dance Monkey


Post Malone, Drake, Imagine Dragons and Shawn Mendes all suck.
