Spotify released a list of the “most viral tracks” for last week, and we were happy to see Billy Boyd’s “The Last Goodbye” on the UK list! We always knew the Brits had good taste, and we’re glad to regularly see the end credit song for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies on any of the Top Ten lists.
The statistics are calculated using the number of people who shared a song divided by the number who listened to it via Spotify and social media.
