In the world of Spotify love playlists, a surprising contender has emerged as the top “love” song of all time. The Arctic Monkeys’ 2013 hit, “I Wanna Be Yours,” may not have been a chart-topping single, but it has found its way into a staggering 2.7 million love playlists on the streaming platform. This revelation comes as part of Spotify’s recent data drops, celebrating its 20-year anniversary.
The track, which was included in the English rock band’s fifth studio album, AM, struck a chord with listeners despite never being released as a single. It now holds the title of the most added song to love playlists in Spotify’s history. The album also produced hits like “Do I Wanna Know?” which made a notable impact on the music charts.
In addition to this milestone for the Arctic Monkeys, Spotify also named the top “breakup” song of all time, which belongs to Olivia Rodrigo and her 2021 deep cut, “traitor.” This recognition adds another layer to the platform’s celebrations of music’s influence over the past two decades.
As Spotify looks back on its most-streamed songs, artists, albums, and audiobooks, it’s clear that Arctic Monkeys’ “I Wanna Be Yours” has carved out a special place in the hearts of listeners. The unexpected success of this track speaks to the power of music to resonate with audiences in ways that defy traditional measures of popularity.
