The main reason I\u2019m starting to believe more and more that Spotify<\/a> Wrapped is a fix is that every year, without fail, it tries to tell me that \u2018Here Comes the Sun\u2019 by The Beatles is one of my top tracks. <\/p>\n Listen, this is not a suggestion of slandering the Fabs, nor an attempt to start a baseless conspiracy theory, but it does stand to reason that the offending song in question is the only Beatles tune with over one billion streams on Spotify. I really don\u2019t think I listen to it that much to be one of my top tracks<\/a> year on year, so is it a plant?<\/p>\n Who\u2019s to say, but the fact remains that for a single song to receive over one billion streams, it must be life-alteringly seismic. It\u2019s a surprise that \u2018Here Comes the Sun\u2019 is the only Beatles contender in this respect. Yet in doing so, they join a league of bona fide rock billionaires on Spotify, quite literally taking over the world with the power of their massive hits. <\/p>\n There are the obvious additions of tunes that everyone on Earth seems to know from the second they take their first breath. \u2018Sweet Child O\u2019 Mine\u2019 by Guns N\u2019 Roses, \u2018Hotel California\u2019 by the Eagles, \u2018Highway to Hell\u2019 by AC\/DC \u2013 the list goes on. There\u2019s also the ones that the bands themselves would rather be wiped from the face of history (\u2018Creep\u2019 by Radiohead, if it wasn\u2019t already painfully clear). <\/p>\n Some are perhaps more surprising examples, such as \u2018Zombies\u2019 by The Cranberries or \u2018Fortunate Son\u2019 by Creedence Clearwater Revival, not because you haven\u2019t heard of the songs or artists, but because they\u2019re maybe not the immediate names that crop up when it comes to discussions on the greatest classic rock acts of all time. But one track was enough to see them sailing through. <\/p>\n Which artist has the most songs over a billion streams on Spotify?<\/p>\n But through it all, there is one band that miraculously appears more than most. Sure, there are a couple of double additions from the likes of The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Nirvana, and Metallica, but beating them all by an absolute country mile is Queen, with a huge five songs surpassing the billion streams mark.\u00a0<\/p>\n
