As for me, "Blinding Lights" hasn't become my most streamed song on Spotify, but I love its catchy beat and smooth voice. Every time it plays I sing and dance in my seat.

It's not just me who can't get enough of “Blinding Lights”. The song has become a global phenomenon, topping the charts in 37 countries. It has even been used in various commercials and films, further cementing its place as a cultural phenomenon.

"Blinding Lights" was also officially recognized as the biggest single of all time on the US Billboard Hot 100. When it was released in late 2019, the song stayed on the charts for over 100 weeks.
