Elton John Top 10 – by the Numbers
Elton John has done more in his life and career than most of us could ever dream of – and that includes creating a legacy and library of songs that are unforgettable.
To celebrate Sir Elton’s career, we decided it was time for a Top 10 list. So, we got to work.
As always, this by the numbers accounting started with Spotify and the ‘Popular’ list on Elton John’s profile page. We took those songs and their streaming numbers, and then we moved on to YouTube. On YouTube, we used official music videos, lyric videos, and audio-only clips from his official page to add to the numbers.
We did not use live videos or covers or things like that in this math. But there are some great options out there if you want to throw yourself down a rabbit hole of great performances!
Note: We did use one video from a non-Elton John account, because there was an undeniable view count, and only one other much less viewed official clip for the song.
After all the numbers were in we added them up, did the sorting, and there you have it, a Top 10 list of Elton John hits, by the numbers!
Now, because Elton has so many, many, many, many hits and favourites, there’s a significant chance that a song or two you love won’t to be on this list. Sorry about that. After you’ve listened to these 10, go and get your fill of Candle In The Wind, Can You Feel The Love Tonight, Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me, and The Bitch Is Back.
Check out the list, turn up the volume, and enjoy!
