MØ and DJ Snake), as the most popular song ever on Spotify with almost 970 million streams. Mike Posner’s ‘I Took A Pill in Ibiza’ was second on the list of the most streamed songs of 2016, followed by ‘Don’t Let Me Down’ (feat. Daya) by The Chainsmokers. Rihanna’s ‘Work’ (feat. Drake) and ‘Cheap Thrills’ by Sia. It was a good year overall for Drake, who emerged as the most streamed artist of 2016, followed by Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Twenty One Pilots and Kanye West and if that wasn’t enough, Views was the most streamed album of the past year.
