Spotify Shared 10 Most Popular Songs For Valentine’s Day
Depending on the state of your personal life, Valentine’s Day can either be a celebration, a source of anguish, or a total non-event.
To cover all of those bases, Spotify has shared lists of its 10 most popular songs in four Valentine’s Day-themed categories — “love,” “sex,” “heartache,” and, for the rancorous, “anti-Valentine’s.”
Spotify’s release called Ed Sheeran the “the king of modern day love songs” for having three songs on its “love” list, while Canadian R&B star The Weeknd had three songs appear on the “sex” list.
The service counted streaming figures and playlist appearances on its platform to come up with the following global lists:
