October 31, 20222 yr Thanks for posting all the updates. It was a really interesting read. I'm baffled by the following being in the top 300, I either can't recalling hearing them before or haven't heard them since their release : 271 Mobb Deep – Shook Ones (Part II) N/A 1995 270 Ice Cube – It Was A Good Day #27 1993 259 Pixies – Where Is My Mind N/A 1988 171 Rusted Root – Send Me On My Way N/A 1994 151 Notorious BIG – Big Poppa #63 1995 141 AC/DC – You Shook Me All Night Long #38 1980 140 Ginuwine – Pony #16 1997 I'm also surprised at the popularity of these ones too - I either wasn't expecting to see them or they're much higher than I thought they'd be - Vengaboys? and why is Toploader that high? Especially when there are so many 80s classics missing (i.e. Berlin, Communards, FrankieGTH, Kylie, Pet Shop Boys), only one Madonna and no Take That. 291 Luniz Featuring Michael Marshall – I Got Five On It #3 1996 284 Livin’ Joy – Dreamer #1 1995 266 James – Laid #25 1993 265 Black Sabbath – Paranoid #4 1970 256 Stardust – Music Sounds Better With You #2 1998 241 Ram Jam – Black Betty #7 1977 227 Vengaboys – Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!! #1 1999 170 2pac Featuring Talent – Changes #3 1999 122 Billy Joel – We Didn’t Start The Fire #7 1989 39 Backstreet Boys – I Want It That Way #1 1999 35 Daryl Hall & John Oates – You Make My Dreams N/A 1981 10 Toploader – Dancing In The Moonlight N/A 1999 / #7 2001
November 1, 20222 yr Thanks Julian for posting the full list of songs and the playlist! I've had a listen through all the songs which were skipped or I didn't really know (usually the same ones). A shame Juicy got skipped, but perhaps they thought that even in the edit, that line about "the World Trade" sounds rather unfortunate now. The Rusted Root song does sound vaguely familiar now I've heard it in full. I was wondering why Comfortably Numb didn't feature in the albums session the other day, and then remembered The Wall only peaked at #3!
November 14, 20222 yr the full list: Now we know where some Christmas songs would place, and it's Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas Is You that is truly the top streamed song from these decades: 01 1994 ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU MARIAH CAREY 02 1995 WONDERWALL OASIS 03 1984 LAST CHRISTMAS WHAM 04 1975 BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY QUEEN 05 1983 AFRICA TOTO 06 1979 DON'T STOP ME NOW QUEEN 07 1977 DREAMS FLEETWOOD MAC 08 1996 DON'T LOOK BACK IN ANGER OASIS 09 1987 FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK POGUES FT KIRSTY MACCOLL 10 1988 EVERYWHERE FLEETWOOD MAC 11 1982 DON'T STOP BELIEVIN' JOURNEY 12 1987 I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY WHITNEY HOUSTON 13 1977 THE CHAIN FLEETWOOD MAC 14 1978 MR BLUE SKY ELO 15 1998 IRIS GOO GOO DOLLS 16 1991 SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT NIRVANA 17 1985 SUMMER OF '69 BRYAN ADAMS 18 1985 TAKE ON ME A-HA 19 1988 SWEET CHILD O' MINE GUNS N' ROSES 20 1978 SEPTEMBER EARTH WIND & FIRE 21 1977 GO YOUR OWN WAY FLEETWOOD MAC These appear in the Top 200 most streamed songs of all time list, which also has 11 songs from the 2000s, 152 songs from the 2010s and 15 songs from the 2020s. https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/t...ll-time__37837/ (Note: OCC's list considers Toploader - Dancing in the Moonlight to be from 2000)
November 27, 20222 yr I had a look at the "Millionaires" list posted by Official Charts in September 2017, and it included a column with streaming sales. I extracted the 70s/80s/90s songs and decided to compare them with the October 2022 list of most streamed songs from those decades. This first image/list I'm posting shows the 70s/80s/90s Millionaire singles in the order of their streaming sales from back in September 2017. The numbers in the first column are the positions they placed at in the October 2022 list. This list demonstrates which songs have surged on streaming in the past 5 years and which have lost some steam. If the song has "-" as its position, that means it didn't feature in October 2022's Top 300 list. One rather notable change in the past 5 years: David Bowie's Let's Dance had 155,360 sales from streaming as of Sep 2017, while ABBA's Dancing Queen had managed 119,187. But in October 2022, ABBA placed in 46th position while David Bowie is a lot lower down in 179th place. Position in the Most Streamed Songs of the 70s, 80s and 90s list from October 2022 // Artist // Title // Year // Streaming Sales as of September 2017 This second image/list has the singles in the order they appear in in the October 2022 list. If you look at the September 2017 streaming sales, it's another way of seeing which have gained or decreased in popularity as of October 2022. Example: Elton John/Kiki Dee - Don't Go Breaking My Heart is 116th in Oct '22 and Robbie Williams - Angels is 117th in Oct '22. Back in Sep '17, Angels was quite significantly ahead - 127,112 vs. Elton on 72,545 at that point (only 57% of what Angels had managed). But in the past 5 years Elton has not only managed to close that streaming sales gap with Robbie, but has managed to overtake. Another example: Aqua 52,936 streaming sales in Sep '17 vs. No Doubt on 100,974 back then, but in Oct '22 Aqua now has more streams (262nd place for them vs. 267th for No Doubt). Position in the Most Streamed Songs of the 70s, 80s and 90s list from October 2022 // Artist // Title // Year // Streaming Sales as of September 2017
