StreambinderSongs With Over 1 Billion Streams on Spotify: Top 25
How many songs have more than a billion streams on Spotify? According to our November 1, 2026 snapshot, 1,449 distinct tracks have crossed that line, and "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd leads the pack with about 5.66 billion. Below you'll find how thin the club gets as you climb, which decades fill it, the top 25, the oldest members and the artists who keep getting in.
A quick note on method. Every figure is a cumulative Spotify stream count, rounded, taken from public numbers collected on kworb.net. The count covers the tracks in Streambinder's 15 country catalogues combined, so it is our dataset rather than a universal census, and a song with several versions is counted once, using its best version. Streambinder is independent and not affiliated with Spotify.
How big is the billion streams club?
The higher you aim, the lonelier it gets:
| Streams | Tracks in the club |
|---|---|
| 1 billion or more | 1,449 |
| 2 billion or more | 341 |
| 3 billion or more | 81 |
| 4 billion or more | 16 |
| 5 billion or more | 2 |
Each extra billion cuts the club by roughly three quarters or more. Only two songs are past 5 billion, "Blinding Lights" and "Shape of You". "Sweater Weather" by The Neighbourhood sits right at the line, at about 5.00 billion.
Which decades fill the club?
Sorting the 1,449 tracks by the year of the version we track (a reissue can make it more recent than the original release) gives a very clear picture:
| Decade | Tracks |
|---|---|
| 1950s | 2 |
| 1960s | 16 |
| 1970s | 52 |
| 1980s | 66 |
| 1990s | 64 |
| 2000s | 195 |
| 2010s | 742 |
| 2020s | 312 |
The 2010s account for just over half of the club, which fits the years when streaming became the default way to listen. The 2020s already have 312 members in under seven years, so that decade is filling up fast. And the old guard holds its own: 66 songs from the 1980s are in.

| 25 | Say You Won't Let Go | James Arthur | 3.73 billion |
The ranking is a story of nationalities as much as numbers: ten of the 25 entries come from British acts, ten from American ones, three from Canada (The Weeknd twice and Drake) and two from Australia ("STAY" by The Kid LAROI and "Riptide" by Vance Joy). Four artists appear twice: The Weeknd, Ed Sheeran, Billie Eilish and The Chainsmokers. And only three songs on the list predate 2010: "Yellow" (2000), "Iris" (1998) and "Every Breath You Take" (1983).
The oldest members of the club
Streaming rewards the songs people keep coming back to, and some of those are very old. These are the 12 oldest tracks in the club, all from before 1990 in our catalogue:
| Song | Artist | Year | Streams |
|---|---|---|---|
| Every Breath You Take | The Police | 1983 | 3.85 billion |
| Billie Jean | Michael Jackson | 1982 | 3.35 billion |
| Bohemian Rhapsody | Queen | 1975 | 3.32 billion |

| Dreams | Fleetwood Mac | 1977 | 3.01 billion |
| Take on Me | a-ha | 1984 | 2.98 billion |
| Sweet Child O' Mine | Guns N' Roses | 1987 | 2.95 billion |
| Africa | TOTO | 1982 | 2.81 billion |
| Don't Stop Me Now | Queen | 1978 | 2.81 billion |
| Everybody Wants To Rule The World | Tears For Fears | 1985 | 2.76 billion |
| Have You Ever Seen The Rain | Creedence Clearwater Revival | 1971 | 2.62 billion |
| Another One Bites The Dust | Queen | 1980 | 2.56 billion |
Queen is the only band with three songs here. The Beatles and Elvis Presley are in the club too, just further down: "Here Comes The Sun" and "Can't Help Falling In Love" both clear a billion. Our guide to the most streamed songs of all time explains why streaming totals favor recent music.
Which artists have the most songs in the club?
Counting how many billion-stream tracks each artist owns tells a different story from the single-song record:
Bad Bunny (27), Taylor Swift (26), The Weeknd (22), Drake (20), Billie Eilish (20), Ariana Grande (18), Rihanna (18), Bruno Mars (16), Post Malone (14), Kanye West (14), Ed Sheeran (13) and Justin Bieber (13).
Neither Bad Bunny nor Taylor Swift has a song in the top 25 above. Their strength is depth: dozens of tracks that each clear a billion. That is the same logic behind the all-time artist records, where cumulative totals reward a deep catalog.
What a billion streams means in the game
In Streambinder, every card is an artist, a track or an album, and its rarity follows its Spotify streams: the more streams, the rarer the card. The billion club is where the rarest cards live. Rarity thresholds depend on the country edition, and a card you own never loses its rarity. Our guide to how card rarity works has the details, and the music world's own ladder of milestones is covered in streaming certifications explained.
