In a year like 2020, music has gained more importance, yes it fits, in our day to day life, being a way of escape, disconnection or relief from reality for many people. This has been reflected by Apple in its statement, claiming that this year “we have turned to music at record levels, listening and discovering more music than ever” to later reveal which have been the best songs and albums of 2020 in the form of playlists . If you already have one of the Apple Music rates contracted, you can already enjoy that ranking.
2020 lists
Apple has developed three playlists compiling the most listened to songs, the most shazamed songs and the most read lyrics. Here are the links through which you will be able to access these three playlists and, in this way, who knows, whether to take a trip back in time through the lyrics and rhythms proposed by Apple.
- Top 100 of 2020 | Global songs
- Top 100 of 2020 | Most read lyrics
- Top 100 of 2020 | Shazam
The winners
However, Apple has not only created these three playlists as a musical tribute to this 2020, it has also revealed which has been the most listened to song, the most listened to album, the most read lyrics and the song, of course, the most. shazameada. You can discover the winners below:
- Top song of 2020: The Box – Roddy Rich.
- Top album of 2020: Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial – Roddy Rich.
- Top 2020 lyrics: WAP (feat. Megan Thee Stallion) – Cardi B.
- Top most shazamed song: Dance Monkey – Tones And I.
We have seen how Roddy Rich, we could say, has swept this year taking the award for the most listened to song, with 13.7 million views in his debut week, and for the best album of 2020, without a doubt the rapper, singer, American composer and record producer has to be really happy with how his creations have been received by the public, being a total success in such a complicated year.
On the other hand, it is not surprising, at least to me, as “Dance Monkey – Tones And I” has managed to be the most shazamed song of this 2020, is there anyone who does not like this song? His rhythm has spread joy in the most difficult moments of the year and, surely, has helped to keep us a little happier in those months of confinement.
The most listened to in Spain
Apple has also provided us with the playlist with the 100 most listened to songs in Spain, you can access it by clicking here .
If we look at the first 25 positions we can already observe the clear trend towards a musical genre, in this case, reggaeton, which has been triumphing for many years in our country, without going any further, in the number one position we find “KAROL G & Nicki Minaj “with their song” Tusa “which has undoubtedly triumphed this year. Who has sneaked into our songs is, again, “Dance Monkey” which in this case is in third place on the list.
It’s funny how the most listened to song in the world, “The Box” by “Roddy Rich”, has not been able to position itself in this list of 100 most listened to songs in Spain.
Finally, on a personal basis, among these 100 songs I highlight “Dance Monkey”, undoubtedly one of the best of 2020, “Blinding Lights” from “The Weeknd” and “Señorita” from “Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello”.
