“Blinding Lights” by The Weeknd just became the first track to hit 5 billion streams! Here how the top ten looks as of June 2026.

Recently we’ve been looking at Spotify’s most followed artists and those with the most monthly listeners. Spotify keep this streaming data public and you can find a breakdown of the top 100 most-streamed songs, as well as other listening data on Wikipedia here.

On August 31st, 2025, The Weeknd’s Blinding Lights surpassed 5 billion streams on Spotify. As the most-streamed song on the platform, this is the first time this milestone has ever been hit on Spotify. Uploaded almost six years ago, Blinding Lights took the crown from Shape of You by Ed Sheeran on 31 December 2022, which currently has 4.96 billion streams and held the top position for a record 1,928 days (over five years!)

Today, there are over 60 tracks with over 3 billion streams, and the top eight have over 4 billion!

Over the last five months since we last updated this list, the only movement has been Drake’s One Dance overtaking Post Malone’s Sunflower in seventh position.

Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood holds the record for the most streams of all-time by a band. Despite releasing over four years ago, As It Was by Harry Styles is still the newest release on the top ten.
