For the 2017 year, Variety has once again pulled in to the top songs of 2017.
This year, Variety teamed up with BuzzAngle Music to create a custom chart that included audio streams, video streams, song sales, Shazam tags, and radio spins.
As you'll see from the list below, Ed Sheeran's “Shape Of You” slightly beats out Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's “Despacito.”
One surprisingly item from the list below is that only one female musician entered the chart for the top 30 most-consumed songs of the year. Julia Michaels' “Issues” came in at the #17 position, while many of the other songs featured female vocalists. Take a look at the entire list below.
