As the year 2019 comes to a close, so does an entire decade. It's the ideal time for the major web companies to update their progress, and one of the most interesting reports comes from Spotify. This time, it not only shared the most streamed songs of the year, but also extended its analysis to the past ten years.

When it comes to streaming music, the two main stops are YouTube and Spotify. Both platforms usually publish a sort of annual summary, but this year they come with a twist. On one hand, YouTube seems to be taking a little longer for its classic "Rewind", after the storm of criticism it received last year. In the case of Spotify Wrapped, its managers decided that the information should not be limited to the last year, but reach the entire decade.
