History

Historical Context

In June 2014 the Official Charts Company added streams to the UK Singles Chart, letting Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass” become the first top-40 hit on streams alone and, in December, Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud” the number-one driven by streaming. Streams jumped 80 % in 2015, and by 2024 acts such as Oasis can top Spotify’s Global chart with a streaming-only “Wonderwall” that has reached 2.8 billion plays.
