Justin Bieber (

Pompeii" by
Bastille was the most-streamed song in the UK with 26.6 million streams. "
Rather Be" by
Clean Bandit featuring
Jess Glynne was the most-streamed song in 2014 with just short of 40 million streams, whilst "
Cheerleader" by
OMI was the most-streamed song of 2015 with 71.7 million. The record for most streams in a week has been broken many times since 2012 when the OCC started measuring it as streaming levels have continued to grow. In 2013, "
Get Lucky" by
Daft Punk was the first song to achieve 1 million streams in a week, and in April 2015, "
See You Again" by
Wiz Khalifa featuring
Charlie Puth passed 3 million streams. In November 2015, "
Hello" by
Adele almost doubled the record to 7.32 million streams and, in the same week, Bieber also passed 4 million with "Sorry". In the week ending 4 October 2014, "
All About That Bass" by
Meghan Trainor became the first single ever to reach the UK top 40 on streams alone before it was available to buy and in the week ending 13 December 2014, "Thinking Out Loud" became the first song to reach number one despite selling less than
Union J's "
You Got It All", the number-two song, due to streaming. During 2015, streaming grew with an 80 per cent increase in the first half of the year compared with the same period in 2014, with 59 songs being streamed more than 10 million times and 17 more than 20 million times. In total 53.7 billion songs were streamed in the UK in 2015, equating to almost 2,000 songs played in each UK household. In December 2016, the OCC announced that streaming had grown from 275 million per week in 2014 to 990 million and, consequently, the formula for converting streams to sale equivalents in the singles chart would be changed from 100:1 to 150:1 from January 2017. Additionally, in June 2017, it was decided that after a record has spent at least 10 weeks on the chart, any track which has declined for three consecutive weeks will see its streams:sales ratio change from 150:1 to 300:1, in an attempt to accelerate their disappearance from the chart.

Shape of You" by
Ed Sheeran was the UK's most streamed song from July 2017 until November 2022, when it was overtaken by
Lewis Capaldi's "
Someone You Loved". ==Most-streamed songs==
