Most Streamed Album Every Year The Last 70 Years (1953-2023) 

yeah, and they stop streaming music in the 90s. In the 2000s they started to stream pure s#(t

@@reinaldofavoreto7160 ok boomer

@@reinaldofavoreto7160 So Linkin Park, Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Charli XCX and Kid A era Radiohead are trash?

@@reinaldofavoreto7160 While music opinions are just based on personal taste the 2000s, at least as shown in this video had far more musical diversity.

​@@reinaldofavoreto7160 how do 7 people agree with you that is a horrible take

They’d have trillions of streams that’s for sure

@@vitamindeeznutz4102 right with the trillions of people that would have access to Spotify+ less people existed back then so the numbers overall would be smaller than today

For The Beatles I'd imagine somewhere between 10-15 billion for their most popular release in the first 10 years or so (despite being as popular as they were, there were less people back then), and then between say 20 and 35 million streams today

@@samelliott97 yea generally the number would be far many times lower because for once less people existed and secondly even if the people had discovered internet at that time was accessible on the market and Spotify existed it’s just that a low amount would have access to the internet because computers were expensive and the secondly and mainly the would probably not pay for a music streaming service as mainly people didn’t do and instead watch RU-vid videos which the same thing happend in real life because a lot of spotify users used to use RU-vid instead.

@@vitamindeeznutz4102 There's only been an estimated 100-150 billion people in the history of the earth sooo

Really surprised to not see a single Metallica album here.

The reason why is because the Black Album was released the same year as Nirvana’s Nevermind. 1991 was a year packed with massive albums. Then their 80s classics were up against albums that were massive at the time.

They invited the music

@@villainousappetite8841 because they suck

@@sogga_fan whats your favorite band?

Well, the 70s have been living for a long time

Don’t forget the Beatles in the 60s

Zeppelin IV, dark side of the moon, and night at the opera are just plain legendary.

@@JUSTIC3FOR4LL don’t forget the wall!?

long live the walls we crashed through I had the time of my life, with you

good point. For 1967 probably then Sgt. Pepper

Interesting idea. But you would have to get numbers from ever song on every album.

@@misterb1897 If I knew how to see how many plays a song had, I'd make this video.

Aftermath,A Night at the Opera and Jazz for example

@@villainousappetite8841 How is Jazz carried by one song? There are at least 4 hugely popular songs off that album easily

it's saddening me that Nirvana was inspired by Pixies, as well as many others like Radiohead, Weezer etc yet they are pretty unknown compared to others.

@@shylaGD The pixies are still a pretty big band

@@shylaGD those are all extremely popular bands

@@domgaar9933 i was talking about Pixies. I just got the feeling people don't recognize them that much even tho they kinda invented a whole new genre

The best rock albums of the 2000s is Audioslave, Out of Exile, and Revelations! 🙌 By far

I know 😔 same with lil Uzi and Carti they deserve to be on the list

​@@nameerfrevilo6627bruh

Yeah really. Radioheads 97' album 'Ok Computer' is LEGENDARY.

were regressing into pop now

same shit, different colour

pop in itself isnt a bad thing. there is good pop and bad pop and there always has been

Every now and then music needs a kick in the ass it happened with the beatles and then nirvana so whos next

Bad Bunny quase conseguiu também ano passado

@@lincolnkevinsr bad bunny is a joke and untalented artist compared to the ones in this list, ed sheeran is also trash

That surprised me the most of all of these.

@@SG_____ Absolutely!

Yea, as much of a rock/metal fan I am I have a lot of respect for Amy Winehouse.

Aftermath beat Revolver here

@@villainousappetite8841 funny because 881 million of those streams are from Paint It Black alone

@@vitamindeeznutz4102 similar is the case of nearly every album here. A Night At The Opera for instance.

@@villainousappetite8841Yeah A Night at the Opera has one good song. But it’s a hell of a song.

hispanic singer i think

Or Kid Cudi for that matter?.

​@@Tom-ok2rh you living under a rock lmfao

@@lameass77 apparently so. That artist never on the radio stations I listen to. 🤔🤔

@@Tom-ok2rh listen to different ones then

They're latin/spanish. Pretty uncommon to hear in a lot of the U.S. or Europe, but very popular on a global scale. Bad Bunny is huge.

if you didn't listen to UN VERANO SIN TI HAVING 12 B STREAMS at least once, it's simply cause u are livin under a rock, that or u dont go to party that much which is fine nothing wrong about that

You’re blessed to not have listened to that horrible shit

What's the problem with reguetton

"please don't tell me we entered the era that will be remembered for reguetton" - 🧑🏼👴🏻

​@@The00man Shouldn't you be playing with your dolls instead of chatting to strangers online, kid?

everything from 2010 onwards is so mediocre at best. Wish it was like previously where the most streamed albums were actually amazing ones, instead of ones that just throw creative out the window and try to be as catchy as possible, copying styles from before.

@@Matt-gl8ov - 🤓🧑🏼👴🏻

Exacto

Didnt see Radiohead there.

@@villainousappetite8841 even if im not a radiohead fan, it has a lot of quality

Yes, hip hop gradually takes over from Rock. But the last 10 years is quite terrible.

@@julesgiddings8747last 70 years*

@@julesgiddings8747 nah post Malone, dua lipa and Olivia Rodrigo are alright

both albums are huge and not only that, have multiple hits contained within, compared to albums like a razors edge which is 99% thunderstruck

Yep…pretty sure it was just as if not more popular than the White Album and it’s tops for 68🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

for 93 and 91 yeah

@@hisapez7 from 1950 to eminem in 2000

Day N Nite is just that huge

@@Peix-ee maybe im wrong feel like pursuit of happiness is even bigger

@@trynagocrayz12 right now both songs almost have the same amount of streams and more people are listening to Pursuit of Happiness, but back when the album was released Day N Nite was the bigger song by far

Why not?

¿Por que no?

Por que es una locura? They are the Fucking BEATLES, THE FAB FOUR!!!!!

I think he means why is it only 1 album as opposed to various albums with over 2.5 billion streams. He’s not trashing The Beatles.

If I’m not wrong

It's 4

No, 4

5 with sgt peppers

90's was the best decade. you had Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, Oasis, Bjork and Blur

No genre should stay on top forever... Otherwise we would all be listening to classical still. Plus there is still lots of good rock music being made its just not on the charts. Which is fine with me, we dont need another nickleback or imagine dragons.

​@@ictogon can you recommend some please 🥲

@@mafuuyama King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Viagra Boys, IDLES, Thee Oh Sees, new Paramore album, BCNR, black midi, QOTSA is releasing a new album soon

@@ictogon thank you so much! i'll check them out ^^

Damn right. And well deserved

Don't forget abbey road

can you please be more salty??? pleasee

@@The00man those are 3 great artists. People just love be hatin

you not having heard of them doesn't make them worse. not saying i'm a fan of any of them but that's saying u haven't even heard of them as if that's automatically a bad thing is pretty closed minded

@@xotwod967 I can't say they're bad, I still haven't heard any of them, I'm just surprised I haven't heard of these artists that so many people listen to apparently

Amazing album but none of the songs even have a billion streams...

@@ictogon True but EARFQUAKE is close and just about every song has well over 100m

Deserves it and has multiple hits but sadly it isn't

mmmh how Old are you ?

If you’ve never heard them, dont form an opinion.

what's it like under that rock?

Never heard of Nevermind or In Utero?

@@chaddevlin8545 haha rock.

Dua lipa is dominating pop right now. You need to check out her newest album. Olivia rodrigo is great at pop too. Bad bunny is one of the best Latin American artists out right now

2022 and 2023 are spanish albums lol

Surprised there wasn't more tbh. Deffo was expecting Sgt Pepper to be on there for 1967. Also Crazy that Help! outperformed Rubber Soul

@@I....l....I Rubber soul is more consistent but you have to remember the Help! has YESTERDAY, the most covered song of all time

It’s because of the biopic most of the older artist on here did it without a terrible inaccurate movie

@@vitamindeeznutz4102 it isn’t a bad movie but it is a little bit innacurate and that movie influenced a lotbof people

@@vitamindeeznutz4102 Queen made the movie popular, not the movie made queen popular.

@@thedelaunesband1405 thats delusional. Queen's Spotify streams rocketed to 333% after that movie was released.

@@thedelaunesband1405 yeah forgot the Dead Star Syndrome. Queen has half of their total record sales in US after Freddie Mercury died.Made in Heaven album debuted at #1. Bohemian Rhapsody instantly became the most streamed classic rock song after that movie was released beating out Teen Spirit and Sweet Child o Mine. Queen had 11million listeners on Spotify a month before the movie was released which rose to 39.6 million in a month after the movie was released.Safe to say that movie made Queen popular today thus giving birth to the most annoying fanbase a band can have.

fax, your pfp goes hard too

I have never seen someone with a KSG pfp have a bad take

Yo word!😂😂

Biggie is way better

is he?

@@bentownsend4017 Let's be fair here, The Blue Print is a shit ton better than "Toxicity" (2001) Edit: im not saying he's the best rapper of all time but just that whenever you look up a list, he's always on there SOMEWHERE so yeah

​@@BoterKat yeah i just looked and it's interesting that he is placed number one on a lot of lists. But outside of that I don't hear as much about him . He was probably more played in his time, relative to other rappers which have aged better on spotify? By that I mean his 90s and early 2000s stuff, his streams are huge for watch the throne and the blueprint 3 blueprint might be considered better. I listened to it and liked a few songs but by streams it's not even a contender for 2001. Toxicity has 10x as many streams.
