The Weeknd’s hit “Blinding Lights” was already the most-played song in Spotify history, but yesterday it made history again by becoming the first song ever to reach 4 billion total streams on the streaming service. The song stole the crown last January from Ed Sheeran’s ‘Shape Of You,’ which used to be the most-streamed track ever and was the first to reach the 3 billion mark. It’s now second with 3.74 billion, followed by Lewis Capaldi’s “Someone You Loved” (3.15 billion), Post Malone and Swae Lee’s “Sunflower” (3.1 billion), and Tones And I’s “Dance Monkey” (2.97 billion).
