- Spotify streaming numbers as of 5th July 2024 - Dates are the songs original release dates, all songs released before the end of 1999. - Total songs per nation will come to over 200 overall, just because of the ones that have dual nationalities - Foreigner, Bee Gees, Fleetwood Mac
Yeah i did think that, cause actually Bon Scott was born in England too, but they are both down as just Australian bands. Not dual nationality bands like the others that are British/American or British/Australian. Cheers
@@Media_Ranker What about America, they were formed in London and while all the members were of American descent, all were raised in England, one even born there. And when A Horse with no Name was released, the band were still based in England.
@@n1thmusic229 Yeah i guess they could be considered both, usually it will have american-british or british-american though and it doesnt for them, as individuals or the band itself. Maybe they just consider themselves American overall? Cheers
If anyone is wondering, the Bee Gees were born in Great Britain, but raised in Australia, and eventually moved back to Great Britain. That is why both flags are represented even though they are band of brothers. I had to look that up..
Yeah i think really they would be happy to be considered both, same with Fleetwood Mac & Foreigner as British/American. Both of AC/DC's front men have been British (or British born anyway) but they are definitely considered an Australian band overall. Cheers
@@busterblader6327 Is she dual nationality i thought she was just American? She surprisingly doesnt have any songs with this many streams though. Her highest was around 500 million or so from what i remember. Cheers
Its crazy that Queen somehow seem to just get bigger and bigger as time goes on, obviously the movie helped too in terms of the really new generation! Cheers
Thanks for compiling the data! The absence of huge names such as Prince, Madonna, David Bowie (the Queen duet aside), Pearl Jam, Duran Duran, Blondie is amazing to say the least..
That is actually pretty true lol, i think it regularly gets voted the greatest song ever too. Not for me, as great as it is and Queen are though! Cheers
I think it will be surpassed eventually since there are other songs on this list that gain more stream faster each day than Bohemian Rhapsody including a couple other Queen songs interestingly enough
🎉 I have listening to music since 1969. I didn't start streaming music until 2019. I remember alot of these songs and videos. Thanks for the musical memories. 👋🐻🤠 Retro Greetings from coastal Mississippi
Thank you. 1. Makes sense that there's so many more Rock songs represented than in Billboard's Top 200 singles of the 20th century. a. Many Rock songs were not released as physical singles. b. Before 2000, Rock stations always did better than Pop stations. c. Rock lovers bought the album, not the single.
Cheers Ray, yeah i also think new generations are keeping some of those big bands very successful in this regard, especially Queen! Almost seems like they are still getting even bigger somehow
@Media_Ranker Rage Against the Machine has the #98 position. The highest one of their songs that hit the Top 100 was only #69 for one week, not for the year, let alone the century. Streaming allows some to find great music. Still, in 2024, many don't even have clean water. 🥲

Thanks! Yeah sadly in terms of singles sales (especially anything that claims to be global) there really isnt any reliably accurate stats from the previous century. Or at least not with public access, so streams are a good way to go.
This list is missing Ahora Te Puedes Marchar by Luis Miguel. It's from the 80's and should be just below T.N.T. by AC/DC if these numbers are from 5 July 2024.
Yeah theres no german accent at all in his singing voice is there lol. Check out my 80 Huge songs people didnt know were by Brits video, some may surprise you there too. Cheers
Yeah as i was making it i kept thinking if i should go to further and further down, this was originally going to be a top 100. I could maybe do a part 2 and do 400-200 but then i would need to do that soon in case the numbers start overtaking songs on this video at the time of recording the stats. Cheers
only thing wrong was i had queen at 8 (well TBH queen 8 +1 with bowie) shocked that jacko only had 4 nice to see AC/DC and CCR well reped (no proud mary?)
Faith in humanity restored! I'm happy to see how most of these are good songs. A few mediocre ones here and there, but mostly good. Furthermore, good to see that there's not that many pop and hip hop songs that were popular briefly. Mostly classics within rock and other genres. As a Swede, I was surprised to see no Roxette or Europe though. I totally expected The Final Countdown to be top 20.
Thanks for watching! From what i remember It Must Have Been Love was very close actually and The Final Countdown just a bit further behind, they were both over 600m streams i think.
honestly pop music, hip hop & gangster rap pre 2005 was brilliant like theres been very few good artists in those genres lately but back then basically all of them were
@@justbread4570 Can't add much to that. I'm not familiar with those genres. I've heard pop of course and some hip hop. But just the famous songs. I would say though I'm under the impression that pop used to be better. Like in the 80s and 90s especially.
@@DanSmeed i firmly believe 80s & 90s pop was rly good it kinda died around 2010 its very generic now unfortunately, and we dont rly have big controversial names anymore, much like most music now too safe, too manufactured
@@justbread4570 Hasn't pop always been manufactured to a large extent though? Like artists not writing their own songs and everything being styled by record company employees. Everyone isn't like that. But if you compare to other genres there's certainly a greater number of musicians within for example rock and metal who write their own songs and so on.
"Every Breath You Take" by The Police was the #1 hit of '83 and from birth to after I turned 18 I lived in 83 County (Garfield County). 1983 was the Centennial of my hometown (Burwell, Nebraska) in 83 county (platted in 1883 - interestingly there is an old west tv series called 1883 that was released recently).
I think for some of those older ones they either never made official videos or there just isnt a quality version available. So the artists official channel made animated videos for a couple of those Christmas songs and a couple of othse 60s songs too. Thanks for watching
All time 200 would likely be made up of a lot of songs from 2010-present day, thats why ive spread it out with 20th Century, 2000s and then i will being 2010-2024. But after that i might do top 400 of all time or something. Cheers
I hope these non english songs that were missing but with enough streams appears in some future new version or maybe in some video only for non English songs before 2010 (please not after 2010 because the songs are really awful with few exceptions).
I don't know how this ranking is going?!! It doesn't include any song of modern talking..?!! Top song ever should include at least five songs of Modern Talking. Modern Talking is the best..
Unless I missed them, there are a quite a few songs missing on that list that I thought would be on it. There were also a few artists that were either missing completely from that list, or they had fewer songs on thst list than I thought there would be e.g. The Beatles, Eminem, Madonna etc.
In terms of you know their spotify numbers and they should be, or just big songs you would expect? Yeah Madonna was the most surprising, not having one song but she did have some around the half a billion range, so close! Yeah i would have thought The Beatles would have had more too and Eminem was right at the end of the 90s when he started, check out my 2000s version of this, he is heavily featured. Cheers
@@Media_Ranker Oh well. I thought Eminem had at least another album pre 2000. "My name is" is one of his bigger tunes though. Obviously not popular enough to make the list.
@@jaysmith2858 Yeah his very first album didnt do much but The Slim Shady LP had My Name Is on it and that was released in 1999, it was very close i think. Somewhere around 600m streams from what i remember. Cheers
They are all in the 2000s version. I know its not technically accurate but this is everything up to the end of 1999 (songs/single release dates) and then the 2000s video is everything from the beginning of 2000 to the end of 2009 and so on. As soon as i got that wrong for one decade for a video i sort of had to stick with it lol i think maybe more people get that wrong these days though anyway. Cheers
Oddly, the number one song played on RUclips to date is Gotye-Somebody That I Use To Know, at 2.3 billion and the song is only 13 years old and Queen's song is almost 50 years old. Damn, where has the time gone? I don't feel old but at 66, I guess I am?
Yeah i think its likely more to do with the average of RUclips users really. And then the fact a lot of younger people will love Bohemian Rhapsody but then maybe not think to search the video, like they would have for Gotye when it actually came out. Cheers
Yeah its a good mix of genres, still working out the best way to do (most likely Spotify) playlists for the videos on the channel but i will eventually. Thanks for watching
Estamos de acuerdo que las canciones de Michael Jackson merecen de estar mas arriba del top, merecen mas reproducciones Pd: grandes canciones en lo general del top
Yeah Stranger Things took it to a different level didnt it, being from the UK we all knew it well from the time it first came out but im glad something made it a global hit, definitely deserves it. Cheers
This only goes up to the end of 1999, Linkin Park first started releasing music in 2000. They are heavily featured in the 2000s version of this if you want to check that video out. Cheers

Wouldn't AC/DC and Men At Work also count for the UK. The lead singers from both Australia bands were born in the UK

The older songs are far more impressive because those are genuine streams
If you lost track, that was 9 Queen songs. 3 in the top 10.😉🥰
Didnt realise it was 9 myself, i should probably have them in the thumbnail lol. Thanks for watching
Queen sucks. And so does the 1980s.
USA #1
Queen was THE band for sports when I was in public school (Grades 1 through 12).
I remember when Bohemian Rhapsody was on the movie Wayne's World.

Don’t forget the mega influence of biopics.... Queen will not be so present without the success of the movie...
And 0 songs by Celine Dion...kinda shocking too.
Slayer but ye old ahh band and maybe not as mainstream as many would like or just too heavy

I love it. Could you do it the same by decades? 90s? 80s? 70s? 60s?
Definitely planning to, probably the 80s first i think. Cheers
Thank you so much for this video. Finally a good video on this topic that has accurate statistics.
Thanks! Yeah sadly in terms of singles sales (especially anything that claims to be global) there really isnt any reliably accurate stats from the previous century. Or at least not with public access, so streams are a good way to go.
Best Music Compilation list on RUclips
Oh cool thanks very much!
Bon Jovi is lengend!!!
I Love it when you call me Big Poppa...Damn, so refreshing to hear something different after all of the classic rock songs
Yeah that was a nice change up actually i thought that too, i love all these songs but its good they werent all one genre/type. Cheers
Recently discovered your channel and I’m glad I did. Keep putting out these awesome videos 😎
Cheers Spencer! Lots of videos to come, next one will be every UK chart number 1 of the 1970s. Thanks for watching
@@Media_Ranker I hope 70s and 80s music never dies. It never gets old!
It definitely won't i think the longevity and legacy has already been proven hasn't it. Cheers
Great video! Made me remember many classics!😊
Thanks for watching, so many timeless ones here isnt there!
This list is missing Ahora Te Puedes Marchar by Luis Miguel. It's from the 80's and should be just below T.N.T. by AC/DC if these numbers are from 5 July 2024.
Yeah somebody else mentioned that, my mistake i missed that one! Cheers
I had no idea Lou Bega is German. I thought he is American hehe.
Yeah theres no german accent at all in his singing voice is there lol. Check out my 80 Huge songs people didnt know were by Brits video, some may surprise you there too. Cheers
Battle Stations from Bill and Ted's bogus journey epic
great video!!! nirvana's lithium barely missed the list by 10M
Yeah as i was making it i kept thinking if i should go to further and further down, this was originally going to be a top 100. I could maybe do a part 2 and do 400-200 but then i would need to do that soon in case the numbers start overtaking songs on this video at the time of recording the stats. Cheers
@@Media_Ranker cheers! i could tell a lot of work was put into this, and its a fun format. would love to see it return soon :)
One Banger after another 🔥
Great video. No surprise for no1, but top 10 was interesting. Truly, not one bad song in the 200.
Thanks. Yeah this was a better mix than i expected before looking up the list too actually!
What a surprise, Queen and Bohemia Rapsody got it, I wish I was as sure as winning the lottery
only thing wrong was i had queen at 8 (well TBH queen 8 +1 with bowie)
shocked that jacko only had 4
nice to see AC/DC and CCR well reped (no proud mary?)
Faith in humanity restored!
I'm happy to see how most of these are good songs. A few mediocre ones here and there, but mostly good.
Furthermore, good to see that there's not that many pop and hip hop songs that were popular briefly. Mostly classics within rock and other genres. As a Swede, I was surprised to see no Roxette or Europe though. I totally expected The Final Countdown to be top 20.
Thanks for watching! From what i remember It Must Have Been Love was very close actually and The Final Countdown just a bit further behind, they were both over 600m streams i think.
honestly pop music, hip hop & gangster rap pre 2005 was brilliant
like theres been very few good artists in those genres lately but back then basically all of them were
@@justbread4570 Can't add much to that. I'm not familiar with those genres. I've heard pop of course and some hip hop. But just the famous songs. I would say though I'm under the impression that pop used to be better. Like in the 80s and 90s especially.
@@DanSmeed i firmly believe 80s & 90s pop was rly good
it kinda died around 2010
its very generic now unfortunately, and we dont rly have big controversial names anymore, much like most music now
too safe, too manufactured
@@justbread4570 Hasn't pop always been manufactured to a large extent though? Like artists not writing their own songs and everything being styled by record company employees. Everyone isn't like that. But if you compare to other genres there's certainly a greater number of musicians within for example rock and metal who write their own songs and so on.
i was gonna complain about how i don't see enough rap on here until i saw fugees and 2pac lol
I am indian but i love Roxette, Avril Lavigne, scorpion, bon jovi, metallic,the Cranberries ❤
"Every Breath You Take" by The Police was the #1 hit of '83 and from birth to after I turned 18 I lived in 83 County (Garfield County).
1983 was the Centennial of my hometown (Burwell, Nebraska) in 83 county (platted in 1883 - interestingly there is an old west tv series called 1883 that was released recently).
Elvis left the chat…no he really did
78 songs (now even more) with +1000M plays
4 songs with +2000M plays
Great list ❤ wondering what the top 2000s songs list will be like, but anyway I really like your videos 🙌🏻
Thanks, definitely going to do that soon i think. Cheers
Wow - I didn't know some of the videos were animated!
I think for some of those older ones they either never made official videos or there just isnt a quality version available. So the artists official channel made animated videos for a couple of those Christmas songs and a couple of othse 60s songs too. Thanks for watching
I Will Always Love You being #168 is shocking
Yeah i think everyone would have guessed that song has over a billion streams, comfortably really! Cheers
Britney spears ❤❤
I need this all time
All time 200 would likely be made up of a lot of songs from 2010-present day, thats why ive spread it out with 20th Century, 2000s and then i will being 2010-2024. But after that i might do top 400 of all time or something. Cheers
All our earworms. 🎶❤️
Wonderwall yes!
Thank you for this video ☺️
Thanks for watching!
I love that only half the list are USA songs
Dire Straits! ❤
I got Rick rolled 😂
I still can't believe so many people are listening
So many timeless classics i think, songs the younger generations keep discovering too! Thanks for watching
I love Oasis from 🇰🇷
Ill be re-uploading my top 30 Oasis songs at some point soon. Cheers
Luis Miguel - Ahora te puedes marchar 712,933,727 ????
También falto Lamento boliviano con 704,070,871 streams
Sorry you are right i did miss those two!
I hope these non english songs that were missing but with enough streams appears in some future new version or maybe in some video only for non English songs before 2010 (please not after 2010 because the songs are really awful with few exceptions).
I don't know how this ranking is going?!! It doesn't include any song of modern talking..?!! Top song ever should include at least five songs of Modern Talking. Modern Talking is the best..
This purely spotify streaming numbers, so i havent chosen any songs here. Cheers
8:04 this is the one you are waiting for
🇯🇲 Bob Marley
🇮🇪 U2
Here is the break down of the video by number of songs from each decade:
50s - 2
60s - 19
70s - 58
80s - 61
90s - 60
Thanks for working this out! I guess in the end the 70s, 80s and 90s being practically identical isnt really that surprising
Oh yeah my bad, thanks ill edit that
Unless I missed them, there are a quite a few songs missing on that list that I thought would be on it.
There were also a few artists that were either missing completely from that list, or they had fewer songs on thst list than I thought there would be e.g. The Beatles, Eminem, Madonna etc.
In terms of you know their spotify numbers and they should be, or just big songs you would expect? Yeah Madonna was the most surprising, not having one song but she did have some around the half a billion range, so close! Yeah i would have thought The Beatles would have had more too and Eminem was right at the end of the 90s when he started, check out my 2000s version of this, he is heavily featured. Cheers
@@Media_Ranker Oh well. I thought Eminem had at least another album pre 2000. "My name is" is one of his bigger tunes though. Obviously not popular enough to make the list.
@@jaysmith2858 Yeah his very first album didnt do much but The Slim Shady LP had My Name Is on it and that was released in 1999, it was very close i think. Somewhere around 600m streams from what i remember. Cheers
Living prayer 🙏
I noticed there’s no songs from 2000 even though they’d technically be elligible
They are all in the 2000s version. I know its not technically accurate but this is everything up to the end of 1999 (songs/single release dates) and then the 2000s video is everything from the beginning of 2000 to the end of 2009 and so on. As soon as i got that wrong for one decade for a video i sort of had to stick with it lol i think maybe more people get that wrong these days though anyway. Cheers
@@Media_Ranker makes sense, I guess “Top 200 most streamed songs of the 1900’s” wouldn’t make that great of a title for multiple reasons
So Queen are the Weeknd of the 20th century.
Pretty much yeah lol. Who would AC/DC be? Huge but maybe more songs here than people would have thought? Cheers
@@Media_Ranker AC/DC are Taylor Swift, huge but basic songwriting. 😀
Damn lol i know Angus Young made the joke about them making the same song 20 times but thats harsh! For me anyway lol. Thanks for watching
@@84bombsjetpack23 - we still have rock n roll today, fellas, if you actually look! Royal Blood and Ayron Jones are some of my favorites.
14:42 most devious song change
i've been laughing at this for far too long
Can you do the movie songs lists for decades? from 1930 s to the 2000 s?
Most streamed movie songs? yeah thats a good idea actually, cheers
@@Media_Ranker no i meant top movie songs for 80s in one video, 90 s for other..for every decade.but you can do streamed, if that suits you more..
Oddly, the number one song played on RUclips to date is Gotye-Somebody That I Use To Know, at 2.3 billion and the song is only 13 years old and Queen's song is almost 50 years old. Damn, where has the time gone? I don't feel old but at 66, I guess I am?
Number one song played on RUclips is baby shark with 14B veiws.
Yeah i think its likely more to do with the average of RUclips users really. And then the fact a lot of younger people will love Bohemian Rhapsody but then maybe not think to search the video, like they would have for Gotye when it actually came out. Cheers
A few surprising left of field unknown songs in there
Any thing by Warrant or Queensryche
This would actually be a great playlist
Yeah its a good mix of genres, still working out the best way to do (most likely Spotify) playlists for the videos on the channel but i will eventually. Thanks for watching
More plays for the higher-ranking songs, nice.
Feels weird to see Britney on a 20th century compilation
Thanks❤❤❤
Thanks for watching
Can you do the 200 most streamed songs of the 21 century?
Definitely planning to. Cheers
I Will Always Love You is surprisingly low. Also I think it's funny the lyrics at #77 and 76 rhyme
Yeah thats definitely a song you would assume has over a billion streams actually isnt it! I didnt notice that lol. Thanks for watching
I think you have to be a certain mood to listen to that kind of song tbh, it would also explain why I Wanna Dance With Somebody is streamed much more
Again rik roll me😢
19:00 With the lights out 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ it’s less dangerous 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️
Dream on
This is real music. no 2010s and 2020
The Sopranos 18:44
BRAVO❤
Thanks!
No matter how the authors tried. hide their preferences under the guise of objectivity, they didn’t succeed
This is all streaming numbers, there is no preferences here at all lol. The songs selection and their position is purely based on that. Cheers
Nirvana Best 1
🤦🤦.
Creep at number sixteen is insulting to Radiohead. It’s criminal.
Im a big Radiohead fan, i honestly didnt know if any of there songs would be streamed like this really so im just glad they a couple in there! Cheers
Estamos de acuerdo que las canciones de Michael Jackson merecen de estar mas arriba del top, merecen mas reproducciones
Pd: grandes canciones en lo general del top
Yeah youd think Michael Jackson would have many songs over a billion streams actually wouldnt you! Cheers
15:21 That record is For Stranger Things
Yeah Stranger Things took it to a different level didnt it, being from the UK we all knew it well from the time it first came out but im glad something made it a global hit, definitely deserves it. Cheers
I would have thought Linkin Park should've had a song on this list
This only goes up to the end of 1999, Linkin Park first started releasing music in 2000. They are heavily featured in the 2000s version of this if you want to check that video out. Cheers
Depeche mode is nr 1 ☝
only DEPECHE
Michael Jackson is the one
ABBA❤❤❤❤
Marley Bob
USA wins because of the x mas songs and rap
🇬🇧 and 🇺🇸 🤝
Absolutely! Thanks for watching
They had a huge music competence in the 20th century
Elton John
hopefully du hast joins here soon
It was very close its nearly at 600 million streams i think. Cheers
@@Media_Ranker yes, 581.294.557 streams
8:05
Lol well played
