Some songs get less, some songs can get waaay more, but a typical song I enjoy is generally in the 30s somewhere.

I don't stream so it hasn't changed anything over the last few years! There'll be a few songs that I'll listen to on repeat for ages (Rihanna's 'Work' being the biggest example of that this year, at 561 plays at the moment :')) I guess an average would be 40-50? Hard to know though!

there's nothing straight about plump Elvis Pronouns: they/any Joined: 21 January 2016 Posts: 13,144 User: 22,895	Generally most songs hit the 20-30-40 mark. Usually the most played song in my year-end charts will come in at over 100 or more, although this is lessening now that I'm listening to a broader raft of music for less times each on Spotify and updating my playlists week on week. Last year's #1 for me, Taylor Swift's Style had over 100 plays by the end of the year. Current #1 contenders for this year from AlunaGeorge and Ellie Goulding are looking at 55 and 75 respectively right now. (maybe I should start posting personal charts here). I do still download and buy songs and albums as well as streaming, but its a lot more split and diverse nowadays for me - I think I'm listening to more music than ever though.

I still buy music just as much as always though finding less time to listen to it, and my collection is only growing, so the average playcount has gone down a bit over time I imagine.
