Spotify reveals most streamed tracks globally, and locally
30 November 2012
Spotify have revealed the most streamed tracks, artists and albums on their platform this year, alongside a host of other interesting information about listening habits.
Somebody That I Used To Know was the most streamed–and most shared via Facebook and Twitter–track globally this year, beating Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe, which followed in second place, and which topped the list of most streamed tracks in Australia.
Globally, Flo Rida had two hits in the top 10 with Whistle and Wild Ones, while Internet sensation PSY came in at a surprisingly low #24 with Gangnam Style.
Half the songs on Australia's top 10 most streamed tracks list were collaborations: Maroon 5 feat. Wiz Kalifa Payphone at #4; Fun feat. Janelle Monae We Are Young at #6; Redimental feat. John Newman Feel The Love at #7; Gotye feat Kimbra Somebody That I Used To Know at #9 and Owl City feat Carly Rae Jepsen Good Time at #10.
Rapper 360 was the only Australian artist to make the top 20 of the most streamed albums list with Falling and Flying coming in at #16.
Maroon 5 appeared twice on Australia's most streamed tracks with Payphone at #4 and One More Night sitting at #8, which was enough to make them Australia's top streamed artist.
