Any surprises here?

 

Where is Bad Bunny and all the K pop? 

 

It would be interesting to compile a list as to how many of the top streamers over the years have enjoyed a prominent slot at Glasto.

I can’t believe they had streaming in the 50’s.

People's tastes got really shit in the new millennium didn't they?

[incident]

Most streamed songs *from* a given year - so it's arguably more representative of current / recent tastes than the time.

Mario - Let Me Love You for 2004 is a bit surprising (though it's a banger). More streams than Toxic, Yeah! & Burn, Baby Cakes, Just Lose It, Lola's Theme, Take Me Out, Somebody Told Me, Call on Me

Vance Joy - 'Riptide'

I didn't know this one either. Thought it was decent but I know it would become really annoying after hearing it many times
