Crazy that IWDWS is that far ahead of the rest! (not including the Kygo song)
Between the two, I always regarded 'I Will Always Love You' as her signature song - admittedly it is a little less stream-friendly, but I'm still surprised it only has half the streams of the former.
Great to see 'I'm Your Baby Tonight' sneak into the top 20, that's always been one of my absolute faves of hers wub.gif

Really happy to see "I'm Your Baby Tonight" in the top 20. One of my favourite songs of Whitney's. Hopefully it'll be able to climb some more in future.

Thank goodness I Wanna Dance With Somebody is (and perhaps regained?) #1 ahead of Higher Love.

Step by Step climbing! *.* It has always felt relatively underrated and overlooked to me, but this list shows it is amongst her top hits, love to see that.

I’m also surprised that So Emotional isn’t in the mix unsure.gif

Higher Love has just been certified triple platinum by BPI today so it's still a top streamer!!

Interestingly 'I Will Always Love You' used to have more Spotify plays in the earlier days (in April 2016 it had 71 million plays vs. 60 million for 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody'), but 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' overtook it in 2017 and has been well outgaining it ever since.

These songs have less streams on Spotify (obviously they're worldwide numbers) than So Emotional, nevertheless I'm still surprised that these get more streams in the UK than it:

(First figure is the Spotify play count)

36.1m - 11. [14] Million Dollar Bill 27.8m
19.9m - 16. [19] Step By Step 16.8m
44.1m - 18. [11] I Look to You 12.9m
24.9m - 19. [16] All the Man That I Need 10.9m
35.3m - 20. [NE] I'm Your Baby Tonight 10.3m
52.2m - So Emotional

Very respectable position for 'Run To You' considering it didn't do that well when originally released but def my favourite Whitney track.

It makes complete sense to me, it's one song you hear everywhere and anywhere no matter what the setting. I think it's one of the songs that will even still be remembered and known in 1,000 years time.
