It comes at no surprise that ‘Arcade’ is the most streamed song on Spotify! The song regained a resurgence over 2020 and 2021 thanks to TikTok and it is not too far from passing 500 million stream milestone for the original version of the song. If you were to also collate the ‘Arcade’ duet of Duncan Laurence with FLETCHER and the acoustic version ‘Arcade’ together with the original version the Eurovision 2019 winning song has amassed over 546 million streams on Spotify!!

'Arcade' is also currently climbing the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, edging closer to the Top 50.

As expected this years Eurovision winner makes its debut in our list at No. 2. 'Zitti e buoni’. Gaining huge streaming numbers when Måneskin competed at Sanremo 2021 and skyrocketed after their win.
