Dance Monkey - Tones and I

Why

I hate this song so freaking much

I dislike most of the songs in this list but this one especially

I'm surprised Adele isn't on there. Taylor too

Ngl, after seeing the 9 songs that came before, this doesn't feel like a win

It’s one of the only two female songs in the top 10, I think that’s great! It’s also the longest charting female song of all time in the UK, although Mariah will take that spot back next month.

i was expecting something from FN in the top 2 at least

the UK's lack of taste never fails to amaze me.

I believe Shallow might climb to top 5 at some point

It’s possible! It has great daily streams

Shallow really is a classic. I sometimes wonder if BR would‘ve been just as big if Streaming was such an implemented thing back then.  

Also, Wondering where AIWFICY will sit after another two Christmas.

Bad Romance was YouTube’s most streamed song of all time at a point so I’m sure it would’ve broken records if released today.

I'm not aloneeee

My husband loved this song, I had to listen to it in loops for months, I was so ready to divorce him

And he called it moofa me, moofa f-cking me, because this is what he thought that she was saying with her annoying voice

Also, you can't say "all time" when streaming was not here at all times, it's more since streaming started, so songs from the 70s can't even compete with songs from the last 10 years, but if we convert their physical sales since release date to streams, this list would be much much different.

All time obviously means the streaming era. There’s another list for pure sales as well. Lucky for us, Gaga is top 10 there as well.

Yes otherwise it would also be unfair to have "most sold albums of all time" lists since Mozart etc can't compete in that.

Yaaas Gaga, capitalise on my country's embarrassing insatiable hunger for soft rock balladeering! (But with an actually good song)
