As a Boomer I can say I find Spotify annoying, because it bosses you around, whereas when I stream music on RUclips, I can stop the mix selection from imposing itself on me. So the experience is more like playing my vinyl records, instead of a mixtape. So I deleted it. You Tube music isn't any better, thinking of deleting it too.

Thanks for watching! Yeah there are quite a lot of big songs people dont know are made by Brits lol i actually have a video on that including lots of classics here: ruclips.net/video/26S2Bn9_xqU/видео.html Cheers
I'm an old fart who hasn't kept up with the newer music for over 20 years now so needless to say I haven't heard most of these songs. Still I managed to squeeze out my top 15: 15 Another one bites the dust 14 Sweet dreams 13 We will rock you 12 Bohemian rhapsody 11 Last Christmas 10 Here comes the sun 9 Fix you 8 Dreams 7 Running up that hill 6 Paint it black 5 Creep 4 Sultans of swing 3 Every breath you take 2 Yellow 1 The scientist
Still a strong list there was just enough classics here thankfully lol. Dont get me wrong i do like electronic dance music but some of these are the VERY basic ones, so thats what gets the streams i guess we shouldnt be surprised. Cheers
Cheers! Yeah it should have been actually, i dont know if they first showed up as Irish (ROI) or i always just assumed they were but they are Scottish and Northern Irish arent they, realised that for my latest video today. AC/DC i think really are considered an Aussie band overall, even though both their singers have been British. Olivia Newton John was another debatable one too. Thanks for watching

Crazy how queen, Adele, Harry styles and especially dua lipa absolutely dominate this list. They make up over 1/3 of it 0-0 (The reason why I find dua lipas streams so impressive is because of how new she is)
@@couldntmixapotnoodle the main reason why it’s so impressive to me is because she is on par with Adele, hairy stiles and queen despite being much more recent than them
Not one of those clowns are on par with Queen. You're either drunk or music illiterate, either way they only appeal to children or depressed women with a drinking habit
@@Media_Ranker I learned that fact from the Weird History video "The Delightfully Orange History Of Sunny Delight" It is a YT channel that I support. The video is right over 11 minutes.
This is interesting because I'm not a Spotify user. I'm old school, own my cd collection originals. But this ranking proves facts I suspected: 1- the most streamed Adele & Coldplay songs are the old stuff. They should take notice because I stopped buying their cds when they radically changed their style. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks their latest releases were awful. 2- Harry has the most successful solo career outside One Direction. He's going the Robbie Williams/Justin T path and I'm all for it. Surprised that Ed Sheeran is so popular. Here in Argentina he isn’t, not like this.
Yeah, i love Here Comes The Sun its one of my personal favourites but youd think if thats there why isnt Hey Jude, Let It Be or Come Together etc there. Definitely a generational thing you're right. Cheers
It's full of garbage, sung by (relatively) talentless, tone deaf types, which unfortunately is consumed by talentless, tone deaf types. Will the majority of those modern songs be remembered in 50, 100, 200 years time? Will they heck! 🤮
The Beatles are still one of the most streamed artists, the difference is they don’t have five big songs, they have 40 so the streams are shared around these and more.
Led zeppelin Pink floyd Queen Beatles Rolling stone Artic monkey Adele Ed sheeran Codplay Oasis Elton John The Police and Dire straits are the best British artist
It's amazing how songs from the 70s, 80s and 90s all sound totally different, and how most of the new stuff literally sounds more or less all the same. Fascinating!
@Lothnar5070 kind of. I mean it wasn't just the music that made the 80s so amazing. It was the incredible amount of talent and creativity these musicians had. The costumes, outfits, styles, videos. I'll never get tired of that decade.
Ed Sheeran and Coldplay are among the most streamed / highest grossing artists of all time. Dafaq you apologizing for, giving the world great artists and entertainment that it clearly loves?
That could possibly have been the most 💩 top ten of a music list (or any 'top' list) that I've ever come across. Most of the 'modern' songs in that list are like clones of each other, and not good clones either. The fact that there are so many Sam Smith, Dua Lupa (or whatever her name is), 1D, Ed Sheeran etc 'tunes' on there is as clear an indication as you're going to get when it comes to illustrating how the quality of music has rapidly gone downhill over the last twenty years. 🤮
I dont mind some of their songs, Sam Smith does have a good voice too but yeah the levels have certainly changed dramatically over time havent they! Cheers
I agree mate, it's depressing seeing music turn into this monotone, auto tune, creatively bankrupt, poorly written, karaoke style horseshit. It all sounds the same, looks the same and all these "musicians" are manufactured the same. They are devoid of personality and have the same opinions. It's a sad state of affairs. All they want is fame, they care little for the music
I personally like Adele's voice but have definitely noticed that for her live performances, particularly for Set Fire To The Rain. I definitely feel that way when it comes to Lewis Capaldi's voice though! Cheers
Yeah that was a very silly mistake from me, i was so sure they were Irish for some reason i didnt even think to check and just dismissed that song. Fortunately this is a video i can do regular updated (and maybe longer) versions of though so ill make sure its in the new one. Cheers
Wooooooooooow! Bohemian rhapsody didn't break the top ten but dua lipa and harry styles did! 👎 And to rub salt in, Ed sheeran was first? The calibre of music has degraded on a monumental level!
I could but really that is the vast majority overall, so videos that have done the most streamed songs have basically covered that. But i might, especially if it looks like there needs to be a video with updated numbers. Cheers

That's a pretty good list, unlike the featured list which was full of identikit, unintelligible, non melodious garbage.
Thanks for the video! Very helpful for preparing a quiz. Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol should be on here, and arguably several ACDC songs.

Crazy how queen, Adele, Harry styles and especially dua lipa absolutely dominate this list. They make up over 1/3 of it 0-0
(The reason why I find dua lipas streams so impressive is because of how new she is)
Dua Lipa is massive in America though, gets lots of radioplay on pop stations so its sort of expected.

Dua lipa fovorit singer ❤❤❤❤❤
May I tell you my favorite songs by every British artists (several repeated).
Surprised there’s not more Beatles. And surprised there’s so much Sam Smith and Adele. Clearly baby boomers aren’t streaming Spotify.
I am in my late 50's and I don't think that too many people older than me stream anything - music or movies
Yeah, i love Here Comes The Sun its one of my personal favourites but youd think if thats there why isnt Hey Jude, Let It Be or Come Together etc there. Definitely a generational thing you're right. Cheers
Good days of music is in the past. Quantity doesn't mean quality.
It's full of garbage, sung by (relatively) talentless, tone deaf types, which unfortunately is consumed by talentless, tone deaf types.

I think I’m Still Standing is missing. I just read that it has over a billion views.
Very close it would be at 102, with Wannabe by the Spice Girls at 101. Cheers
Led zeppelin Pink floyd Queen Beatles Rolling stone Artic monkey Adele Ed sheeran Codplay Oasis Elton John The Police and Dire straits are the best British artist
What about One Direction? What about Harry Styles???
@lejlasalihovic8234 no real artists just boy band
It is not a justified list... How can you put bohemian rhapsody out of ten....?
You didn't put careless whisper of George Michael....
This list is streaming numbers on Spotify, at the time i made the video (May 2024), i didnt choose the placements etc at all. Cheers
Adele being the best and most successful solist from the UK this century as always
Please make Swedish artist 🙏🏻🇸🇪

Sorry, i never got the whole Sam Smith popularity. Im British and im embarrassed anyone outside of our borders ever heard of him.
Facts

lewis capaldi is actyally Irish
Nah hes Scottish, if youve heard him speak you may have confused the accents lol. Cheers
I always confuse accents, I thought a Scottish person was Irish and an Irish person was American
@@Media_Ranker i alway thought he was irish beacuase niall horan said he is the most irish men ever
In UK nobody can take crown of Dua lipa because she's British queen 👑
She is definitely number 1 now isnt she! Taken over from Adele in that sense, very different styles of music though of course. Thanks for watching
@@Media_Ranker your channel is amazing, and I guess your personality is amazing too that's why I'm gonna subscribe you
@@jamshedmurtazaev3303 Thanks, really appreciate it! Lots of videos to come
Surely Queen are the British Queen.

If i did this as a top 200 im sure they would be, maybe even top 150, i think 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' is at around 500m streams! Cheers
Why is Adele screaming all the time? Listening to her is like a wife constantly yelling at you. She has no modulation in her voice.
Adele has a beautiful voice
I personally like Adele's voice but have definitely noticed that for her live performances, particularly for Set Fire To The Rain. I definitely feel that way when it comes to Lewis Capaldi's voice though! Cheers
Her Grammy's and commercial success say different.
Snow patrol should be number 62
Why not included.????
