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).

This list is just streams in 2025. This might not have been the best year for ‘Let It Be’.

I am guessing the omissions are down to the tracks not being singles, so their only release came after downloads were available. On the BPI site, Let Down has a 2007 release date and Lover You Should Come Over has 2004.

Then again, The Chain was also not available to purchase before downloads and that is counted, so who knows.

It's been in the top 25 Rock & Metal charts all year, would guess it's had a boost from them headlining Reading & Leeds plus the death of their bassist. Probably the most unexpected song on the list for me!
