Here are Elton's Spotify streaming numbers as of April 12, 2024:

Elton has 3 songs that have surpassed the 1 billion number of streams!

  1. Cold Heart   1.9 billion
  2. Rocket Man   1.1 billion            
  3. I'm Still Standing   1.0 billion
  4. Your Song   855 million
  5. Don't Go Breaking My Heart   743 million
  6. Tiny Dancer   734 million
  7. Bennie and the Jets   436 million
  8. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road   399 million
  9. Hold Me Closer   383 million
10. Sacrifice   345 million


A few comparisons:  the highest Beatles song is "Here Comes The Sun" with 1.3 billion streams - their only song that has reached 1 billion streams.  Queen has 5 songs over 1 billion streams.  Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd don't have any songs that have reached 1 billion streams (they are truly "album" artists).

Thoughts?

If we had had Spotify in the seventies, all the nine songs behind "Cold Heart" would have been above it I bet... with maybe the exception of "Hold Me Closer". Even if these two songs had existed back then.

Yeah, I was thinking, too, that if GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD was released in the current chart & Spotify world, that most of the album's songs would have charted (!) and that countless ones might already of surpassed 1 billion streams!
