Also in the streaming realm, The Weeknd's Blinding Lights has become Spotify's most streamed song ever. It was the leading track from the Canadian crooner's After Hours album, which was certified diamond by the RIAA last year. The title of most streamed song on Spotify was previously held by Ed Sheeran's Shape of You.
