Taking A Look At The Top 20 Least Streamed Hits 1 Songs

Hey guys, what's up? This is something a little different. A few months ago, HrishK made a post of the top 50 most streamed songs on Spotify, and I wanted to do something similar. So I decided to do the top 20 least streamed songs. Now, there's way too many songs on Spotify, so it would be impossible to find the top 20 least streamed songs of all time, so I just decided to only do songs that were on the weekend countdown. Before we get to the top 20, I want to look at some songs that didn't quite make the list, but I was surprised at how low they listed.

#33: Anaya Birla - Let There Be Love

Streams: 598,648

Released: 2020

Blurb: Remember this song? This song was amazing, and I'm not sure why it has such low streams.

5/5 = Amazing

#41: Milan & Phoenix - Istanbul (Not Constantinople)

Streams: 983,286

Released: 2012

Blurb: I know this song wasn't the most popular, but I used to dance to this song all the time on Just Dance. A really fun song that definitely deserves more streams.

5/5 = Amazing

#57: Shaylen - Goodbye

Streams: 1,362,607

Released: 2020

Blurb: Easily one of the most forgettable songs ever on Hits 1, lasting only one week. This was good, but not as good as I Try by Macy Gray that this song samples.

4/5 = Good

#80: Amelia Moore - i feel everything

Streams: 2,384,388

Released: 2022

Blurb: This song was terrible, and definitely deserved to be this low.

5/5 = Amazing

And the least streamed Hits 1 song of all time is...

1: A Girl Called Jane - He's Alive

Streams: 1,690

Released: Apr 21, 2007

Blurb: Here we go, at just a little over 1,000 streams, we have the least streamed song ever on Hits 1. I could not find much information about this band. For the third time, this is the only song that this band has ever released. But I did find out something interesting on their wiki. Apparently, they were originally going to sing the song Umbrella, and even shot a music video for it, but in the end Rihanna ended up singing it. Who knows, if they ended up singing Umbrella, A Girl Called Jane could have ended up more famous. The song itself is really good. I really like the electro pop production and singer Nora Dalal sounds great. This definitely deserves way more streams.

5/5 = Amazing

Well, looks like that's it. I hope you discovered some new artists and songs, I know I did. I have a few more ideas floating around that I want to do, like top 20 most/least streamed hitbound dropouts, but we'll see. Bye for now!
