This has been on Greatest Hits Radio over the past 2 days. Top 20 is on the OCC site, will have to listen back to find out the rest.

"Greatest Hits Radio has partnered with the Official Charts Company to present the Top 100 Most Streamed Songs of 2025 from the 70s, 80s and 90s. And whilst the Gallagher brothers might have dominated the news headlines this summer it's another band who have taken top spot in this chart.

Iris from the Goo Goo Dolls is at Number 1 - a song originally released in 1998 but finding a new lease of life in 2025 thanks to TikTok and an appearance in smash hit movie Deadpool & Wolverine.

Lead vocalist from the band, John Rzeznik said: "It's official - 2025's most streamed song of the 70s, 80s, and 90s is our song, Iris. Who would have thought? After all these years. I want to thank Greatest Hits Radio for that and the Official Charts Company for this amazing chart, which is great. Merry Christmas, happy New Year, happy holidays to everybody. Hopefully we'll get to see you soon."

Guitarist Robbie Takac said: "This is unbelievable, man! Thanks so much to Greatest Hits Radio and the Official Charts Company for this amazing opportunity and to all of our fans and listeners everywhere we salute you and we wish you a Merry Christmas, happy holidays and all the best in 2026."

Oasis do have two songs in the Top 10 with Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger coming in at Numbers eight and nine respectively. Fleetwood Mac beat the Manchester band though with three songs in the Top 10: Dreams, Everywhere and The Chain and Go Your Own Way just missed out at Number 11.

And it was 70s music that proved most popular with eight songs from the chart having been releases in 1977, just ahead of 1997 with seven hits. Overall the 80s came out on top with 37 tracks versus 35 from the 1990s and 28 from the 1970s.

Bands dominated the top 100 taking 71 of the spots, 23 went to male solo artists and just 6 to female singers. Whitney Houston is the highest placed artist - in fact the only female in the Top 30 with I Wanna Dance With Somebody at Number 30."

Wow at Silver Springs being that high. As always with these lists Christmas songs seem to be excluded

This has got to be a mistake, it has 25 million on Spotify alone this year on weeks it’s been in the top 200.

It's been ahead of No Surprises on the indie chart all year too, you'd expect the OCC to notice they've missed it seeing as it's one of the biggest viral hits of the year! Was looking forward to seeing where it landed for YE chart purposes

My expectations of the OCC are extremely low so doesn’t surprise me it’s been missed.

Would guess it’s in the 15-25 section

Delighted and surprised to see The Cranberries doing so well - and Fleetwood Mac having great success even with songs like ‘Silver Springs’ and ‘Landslide’.

Poor brave skipped Mazzy Star! Brilliant to see 'Fade Into You' resonating so much in the streaming era after only getting to #48 originally.

CW and Go-Go neck on neck but it seems they lost a lot of streams this year

Weren't they higher in the list last time?

Wake Me Up was 50 and Careless Whisper was 58 in the all-time countdown from April 2024, other songs are just more popular than them currently

Pretty much slipped backward

Like A Prayer made a huge jump because of the Movie

Surprising that the Beatles 1970 song Let It Be did not make the Top 100.

After all it is now Platinum 2X - and that must include many streaming sales (since 2015).

Great to see 'Scar Tissue' the top RHCP song (unless 'Under The Bridge' is also missing by mistake), 'Losing My Religion' doing well, and The Smiths here twice too. Boo at them skipping Jeff Buckley as well, guess they think their audience aren't the ones streaming those skipped tracks.

Lover, You Should’ve Come Over being 7 minutes long might have also contributed to the decision

It was 153 on the all time list from April 2024, must have just missed this one (or has been left out by the OCC like Let Down)

How is Whitney the highest placing artist when Bryan Adams is #12 and MJ and Bruce just behind? Unless they forgot the word "female".

Surprised that Summer of 69 is the most streamed song by a solo artist anyway.
