Spotify released its annual list of the year’s top tracks, artists, and genres this morning, and, in the words of chief content officer Stefan Blom, “There is no doubt that 2017 was The Year of Ed Sheeran.” Oh, wow.
Sheeran’s “Shape of You,” which is nominated for a Grammy for best solo pop performance, became the most-streamed track in the platform’s history, racking up 1.4 billion streams since its January release. (Out of curiosity, I put that figure into a streaming royalty calculator. About $5.6 million, in case you were wondering!) His March album, Divide (stylized “÷”, which is rude), was streamed 3.1 billion times, making it the top album on Spotify this year.
