Only 16 Country Songs Have Over One Billion Streams On Spotify, Here’s The Full List
Only 16 country songs have surpassed one billion streams on Spotify, according to platform data. Morgan Wallen leads the genre with four tracks reaching this milestone, while Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” currently holds the highest total at 1.72 billion streams. This group represents a small fraction of the 1,200+ total songs across all genres to hit the billion-stream mark.
Why does Morgan Wallen dominate the country streaming charts?
Morgan Wallen owns 25% of the billion-stream country list. He’s the only artist in the genre with more than two songs to hit the threshold. His qualifying tracks include “Whiskey Glasses,” “Last Night,” “Wasted On You,” and his collaboration with Post Malone, “I Had Some Help.”
Wallen’s dominance is evident in the sheer volume of his catalog’s performance. While other top artists like Zach Bryan, Luke Combs, and Taylor Swift have two songs each in the billion-club, Wallen’s ability to consistently cross the mark suggests a high level of repeat listenership among Spotify’s 696 million monthly active users.
Which country songs are currently hitting the billion-stream mark?
Recent additions to the billion-stream list include Darius Rucker’s cover of “Wagon Wheel” and Sam Hunt’s “Body Like a Backroad.” Morgan Wallen also recently added “Wasted On You” to his tally.
The pace of growth varies wildly between legacy hits and current breakouts. According to current streaming data, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is growing the fastest, averaging 2.15 million streams per day. In contrast, Taylor Swift’s early hit “Love Story” averages 176,510 streams per day.
The current top five country tracks by total streams are:
- “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” (Shaboozey): 1.72 billion
- “Meant To Be” (Bebe Rexha & Florida Georgia Line): 1.57 billion
- “Something in the Orange” (Zach Bryan): 1.59 billion
- “I Had Some Help” (Post Malone ft. Morgan Wallen): 1.51 billion
- “Tennessee Whiskey” (Chris Stapleton): 1.51 billion
How are cross-genre collaborations changing country music’s reach?
The data shows a clear trend: songs that blend country with pop or hip-hop elements often reach the billion-stream mark faster. Tracks like “10,000 Hours” by Dan + Shay and Justin Bieber, and “Meant To Be” by Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line, occupy a significant portion of the list despite their hybrid sound.
This shift is most visible in the success of “I Had Some Help.” By pairing Morgan Wallen with pop-star Post Malone, the track leveraged two different fanbases to secure 1.51 billion streams. It’s a strategy that expands the genre’s reach beyond traditional country listeners and into the mainstream global market.
What does this data say about the future of country music streaming?
The disparity between the 1,200 total billion-stream songs and only 16 country tracks suggests the genre is still catching up to pop and rap in the streaming era. However, the rapid ascent of artists like Zach Bryan—whose “I Remember Everything” is pulling 1.43 million streams daily—indicates a shift toward “streaming-first” country music.
Another emerging trend is the impact of re-recordings. Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me (Taylor’s Version)” has already surpassed 1.11 billion streams. This shows that fans are willing to migrate their listening habits to new versions of songs to support artist ownership, a move other legacy country acts may follow.
As Spotify continues to grow its base of 276 million premium subscribers, the barrier to hitting one billion streams will likely lower as the platform’s user base expands into more international markets where country music is gaining traction.
