Lewis Capaldi’s Someone You Loved was the most streamed song of last year in the UK after being played 229 million times, according to the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
Despite the success of the Scottish singer-songwriter’s hit, tracks released in 2019 only accounted for just over a fifth of music played on streaming services.
Lil Nas X’s Old Town Road, which was released in 2018, ranked in second place. The BPI also revealed which was the most streamed song in 2019 from each decade going back to the 1940s, with Christmas music featuring heavily on the list.
The Killers’ Mr Brightside was the most popular song from the noughties, while Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You was the top ranked 90s song.
