Bob Dylan is a legend and a treasure. For six decades he has been writing, performing, evolving, experimenting and entertaining. And on May 24, 2021 – he celebrates his 80th birthday.

To celebrate his birthday and his career (so far) we decided it was time to go through his catalogue and put together Bob Dylan’s Top 10 – by the Numbers.

As always, we started with the ‘Popular’ list on Spotify, took down the stream numbers, and then moved to YouTube. There, we took the streaming numbers for official videos (no live performances) from Bob Dylan’s official channel. Then, we did the math, added all the streaming numbers up and sorted those 10 songs into a Top 10 list.

Because Bob Dylan has released 39 studio albums, 12 live albums, 19 compilation albums, 7 soundtrack albums, 17 EPs, and 95 singles + 15 bootleg series, there’s a real chance that a song or more that you love isn’t going to be on this list. If that’s the case, please leave a comment telling us what Bob Dylan song you think is a Top 10, but didn’t make it.

Now, scroll through the list, hit play on the songs you love, and celebrate Bob Dylan with us.

Enjoy!
