Mark Goodier presents his essential selection of the finest 鈥榖illion streamers鈥� from the past six decades of rock and pop.

It used to be said that you鈥檝e made in the music business once you鈥檝e had a million-seller. However, physical sales are in terminal decline, so the rules have changed forever. Today, the real benchmark of success comes once your song has been streamed over a billion times. The elite club currently contains over 900 different titles, from the 1960s to today, and it鈥檚 expanding every week.

Mark has hand-picked the very best of those huge tunes, plus he鈥檚 got the stories behind their enduring appeal as well as some truly mind-boggling facts and stats.

Every song is a genuine classic but prepare to be surprised when you find out what鈥檚 notched up over a billion streams, and what hasn鈥檛!
