黄老板单曲播放量破20亿成流量冠军 但是今年最红的却是他和她

若论今年欧美歌坛最红的歌手，当属德雷克和“A妹”爱莉安娜·格兰德。但若是论有史以来歌曲流量最高的歌手，那么“黄老板”艾德·希兰是当之无愧的冠军。黄老板的冠军单曲《Shape of You》、德雷克的《One Dance》，还有A妹的《thank u, next》，没听过都不好意思说自己是地球人。

Spotify has named its most streamed track of all time.

流媒体音乐服务平台Spotify日前公布了有史以来流量最高的冠军单曲。

The music subscription service has revealed that Ed Sheeran song “Shape of You” has now surpassed 2bn listens, easily making it the world’s most popular song.

该音乐订阅网站透露，“黄老板”艾德·希兰的单曲《你的形状》的收听次数已经超过20亿，轻而易举地成为了全世界最受欢迎的歌曲。

Sheeran himself commented on the feat, writing on Instagram: “Thank you world. First song to two billion streams on Spotify”.

得知这一成绩后，黄老板在Ins上评论说：“感谢全世界。第一首在Spotify上播放量达到20亿的歌曲。”

Spotify pays up to $0.0084 per stream to the owner of a respective song's music rights, which is usually split between the songwriter, record label, producer and artist. Taking into account the 2bn listens amassed by "Shape of You", Sheeran's team would have earned approximately $16.8m (that's roughly $8.4 per 1,000 listens).

Spotify网站上的歌每被收听一次，Spotify就要向歌曲的版权所有人支付0.0084美元（0.058元人民币），这些所得通常会在创作者、唱片公司、制作人和歌手之间分摊。考虑到《你的形状》高达20亿的收听次数，黄老板团队将从中收入大约1680万美元，相当于每听1000次收取8.4美元。
