Did you know that only 11 country songs have ever hit a billion streams on Spotify. Here they are:
1. “Meant to Be” by Bebe Rexha & Florida Georgia Line . . . ~ 1.49 billion
2. “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” by Shaboozey . . . ~ 1.4 billion
3. “Something in the Orange” by Zach Bryan . . . ~ 1.34 billion
3. “Last Night” by Morgan Wallen . . . ~ 1.32 billion
4. “Tennessee Whiskey” by Chris Stapleton . . . ~ 1.28 billion
5. “I Had Some Help” by Post Malone & Morgan Wallen . . . ~ 1.21 billion
6. “I Remember Everything” by Zach Bryan & Kacey Musgraves . . . ~ 1.17 billion
7. “10,000 Hours” by Dan + Shay & Justin Bieber . . . ~ 1.17 billion
8. “When It Rains, It Pours” by Luke Combs . . . ~ 1.12 billion
9. “Beautiful Crazy” by Luke Combs . . . ~ 1.07 billion
10. “Whiskey Glasses” by Morgan Wallen . . . ~ 1.03 billion
11. “Love Story” by Taylor Swift…she has over a billion streams from the original release of this song, and another billion for “Taylor’s Version”. So, all-totaled, it’s by far the most-streamed country song ever.
It break my heart to not see King George Strait, Alan Jackson or at least some Hank Williams Jr. on this list. Has streaming messed up country music, because I feel people don’t listen to good traditional country music anymore like they should?
