Hey admin, under Bring me the horizon account, “maybe” should be added on their list. it’s been weeks now the new track isn’t there. that song is also included on their Spotify so why isn’t here on their list?
Some might not agree, but Numb by Linkin Park should be on this list with 1,728,496,134 streams, counting Numb/Encore that is basically a JAY-Z remix and all the additional versions.
Glass Animals' 'Heat Waves' has approximately 1.725 billion streams across all version, so it's going to appear in the list any day now. And then quickly will rise up into Top30.
Once again lol who the f*ck and why minus the post? Glass Animals’ ‘Heat Waves’ should be in the top 50 ALREADY.

So the song is already at #43, but you can continue to 'minus' my comments lol
Hi LiohaK!
I don't think people doubt of your comments, a bit like how many people downvote CSPC articles of artists they don't like, just because, well, they don't like them. It has nothing to do with the article itself.
I know that we are late on this list, our target is to upload most 1b+ songs together to expand it, rather than getting into a manual scanning and additions of each song that gets there, but the whole process is taking longer than expected as new songs cross this mark day in day out at the moment!
Hello,
Your hard work is very appreciated! It would be so great getting this list expanded.
The fact that Queen has the #27 most streamed song of all-time is astounding. With a song from 1975. The next "oldest" song on the list is from 2012, once the streaming era had already started out.
Yeah, 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is an absolute phenomenon amongst the legacy songs.
The closest legacy tracks as I can assume are:
Smells Like Teen Spirit - 1.3+ billion streams
All I Want for Christmas Is You - 1.2+ billion streams
Dreams - 1 billion streams
Don't Stop Me Now 1.4b, Another One Bites The Dust 1.3b, Don't Stop Believin 1.3b, Take On Me maybe 1.3b, I've no search credit left 🙁
We definitely need to create a separate list of the most streamed legacy songs of all times.

Dylan 81 years and T-bone Burnette, 74 years, two meter long music genius, discussed state of music today: When you sell one million songs and get one dollar, let's do it other way. I will sell one piece and i get one million dollars. Yesterday they got 1,77 million dollars for one Ďylan song, "Blowin in the wind". Let's make art, just one piece, not making music for masses.
