Criminal that so many Undercover cuts in the bottom 10, particularly Too Tough.
The heart wants what the heart wants I guess.
Those three FORTY LICKS tracks are total losers in Spotify. The compilation is totally yesterday's papers now. No one finds the tracks any longer.

Is 40 Licks on Spotify at all?

Well, wait - it is. When I searched it and the songs in Spotify I couldn't find it. Google found it.

It solidifies what a dumb idea it was for them to put new music on a career spanning hits comp. So dumb. Incredibly dumb.

AppleMusic has more users than Spotify. Would be interesting to see if the choices are similar to Spotify regarding the Stones.

I tried to find a way to get Apple Music statistics, but it seems impossible at least for a non-user.
Anyway, what I did find is that Spotify still has about two times as much users as Apple Music, although the latter, being in business for just about five years, is catching up.

"Living In A Ghost Town" seems to be a steady streamer. It has now 11.9 mil streams (#46), making it the third most streamed Stones song in Spotify since TATTOO YOU hits. It will pass very soon "Hate You See You Go" (12.3 mil, #43), and being such a steady streamer months after its relaese, it looks it will even catch "Anybody Seen My Baby?" (18,1 mil, #30) later in the fall/winter.

This post is from last August. There I predicted that "Ghost Town" will catch "Anybody Seen My Baby?" during the fall/winter. Well, it did not, but this week it finally will. "Anybody" has now 23,8 million streams against 23,7 millions of "Ghost Town" (plus A-Lok version has 9,2 million streams). What is interesting that in August "Anybody" was #30, not it is #26. It's going up, up, up... So my prediction failed because I didn't expect it will do so well (for example, with its 5,7 million streams since August it has done better than all the versions of brandnew "Scarlet" put together). Soon both of those songs - "Ghost Town" and "Anybody", that is - will pass "Sweet Virginia" (23,9m) and "Dead Flowers" (24,0m).
Altogether I think the (recent) success of "Anybody Seen My Baby?" has been surprisingly good. Clearly the most streamed 'catalogue song' relaesed between TATTOO YOU and streaming era. Surprisingly, because it didn't make even HONK collection, and from the base of I've read here it isn't exactly a fan favourite. But somebody out there likes it... I always have liked it, by the way.

Doxa, I can't believe Saint of Me didn't crack it's way into the top ten, or even your bubbling under. That's wild.

In 1997 I thought Saint of Me would be the new Start Me Up, a live staple. Sadly it has not. After San Jose 99 release and the 2 BTB releases, I'd love to see it make a setlist return.

Another surprise is that Time is on My Side has only ben performed once since 1981-82: Tokyo, 1998.

There've been some sucking threads lately... not that our threads suck generally by nature, but people were using the old collection title as a nice excuse to construct personal favourite suckers from each decade. So I use that as a guide and consult the democratic jury of Spotify to see how they see the Stones sucking.
SUCKING IN THE 60's
1. Paint It, Black 567,3 million streams
2. Satisfaction 396,5
3. Gimme Shelter 341,4
4. Sympathy for The Devil 336,0
5. You Can't Always Get What You Want (106,1+13,2) 119,3
6. Honky Tonk Women 101,0
7. Jumpin' Jack Flash 82,7
8. Under My Thumb 76,9
9. She's A Rainbow (53,1+6,9) 60,0
10. Ruby Tuesday 56,1
That's some bad ass sucking. TOP FOUR are also the TOP FOUR of all-time, and the worst is still #17 in all-time charts.
RE-SUCKING IN THE 70's
1. Beast of Burden (228,7+16,6) 244,3
2. Angie 198,3
3. Wild Horses 153,8
4. Brown Sugar 153,5
5. Miss You 98,1
6. Can't You Hear Me Knocking 61,3
7. Tumbling Dice 43,1
8. Dead Flowers 25,0
9. Sweet Virginia 25,0
10. It's Only Rock'n'Roll 24,2
Ballad-heavy top three. Probably some deep STICKY FINGERS and EXILE numbers having a surprisingly high charting.
SUCKING IN THE 80's
1. Start Me Up 329,2
2. Waiting On A Friend 28,1
3. Emotional Rescue 20,9
4. Heaven 18,8
5. She's So Cold 17,0
6. Harlem Shuffle 7,7
7. Slipping Away 5,5
8. Undercover of The Night 5,0
9. Mixed Emotions 4,5
10. Little T&A 4,3
Well, one song above the rest big time, and TATTOO YOU having four cuts, of which the success of "Heaven" is a nice surprise, me thinks. Two Keith songs making the list. (However, the streams of two collections have disappearad for some reason from the counting, FORTY LICKS and SINGLES COLLECTION, which means that certain singles have much more streams in reality, such as "Mixed Emotions", and, for example, "Rock And A Hard Place" would have made the list. However, we live these 'facts' now).
SOME SERIOUS SUCKING IN THE 90's
1. Anybody Seen My Baby? 25,4
2. Out of Control 10,7
3. Love Is Strong 8,3
4. Like A Rolling Stone (live) 5,4
5. You Got Me Rocking 4,9
6. Paying The Cost To Be The Boss (with B.B. King) 4,9
7. Wild Horses (live STRIPPED) 4,5
8. Saint Of Me 4,4
9. Paint It Black (live FLASHPOINT) 4,2
10. Out of Tears 2,9
Okay, some serious difficulties in entering top ten with their new songs... That tell something about the times... But if we leave the B.B. King track and live versions out, the next 'proper songs' would be:
12. Blinded By Rainbows 1,9
13. Thru and Thru 1,8
19. Flip The Switch 1,6
Missing pieces are live cuts from FLASHPOINT and STRIPPED. "Flip The Switch" is #221 in all-time charts....
STILL SUCKING FROM 2000 ON
1. Living In A Ghost Town 26,1
2. Wild Horses (Acoustic Version) 22,2
3. Hate To See You Go 14,3
4. Ride 'Em On Down 11,6
5. Just Your Fool 11,4
6. Living In A Ghost Town (Alok Remix) 10,0
7. Doom And Gloom 7,7
8. Doom And Gloom (Jeff Bhasker Mix) 7,4
9. Streets Of Love 7,0
10. Blue And Lonesome 5,8
Okay, to clean up the list let us put different versions together and throw the nostalgic STICKY FINGERS number(s) out. Then we have the following entrances:
11. Commit A Crime 5,4
12. I Gotta Go 5,3
14. All Of Your Love 4,7
Surely one can see that BLUE & LONESOME gains from having relaesed during a streaming era. The next A BIGGER BANG track would be "Laugh I Nearly Died" (4,4m) and "Rain Fall Down" (3,9m). If put all the versions of "Scarlet" together that would made top ten with its 6,1m streams.
Now that was fun - while wasting time to go to get a needle against corona. See ya!

Here is my comment on the insight by ThePaleRider and Testify for the significiance of VOODOO LOUNGE:
----
The whole 'comeback' period, starting with STEEL WHEELS, and ending with STRIPPED, was a great phase for the Stones salewise, almost matching with the other peaks such as from 1969 to 1973 (from THROUGH THE PAST DARKLY to GOATS HEAD SOUP, each major item, except YA-YA'S, selling at least 6 millions copies to this day!) and from 1978 to 1981 (including the monster hit albums SOME GIRLS and TATTOO YOU). Within that time frame from 1989 to 1995 they released two of their best selling live albums ever (both FLASHPOINT and STRIPPED selling four million copies, which means that both, for example, outsold their mid-80's new studio albums UNDERCOVER and DIRTY WORK and high-profile compilation REWIND) and two very successful new studio albums. Over-all they sold about 20 million copies with those four albums (and then, the big seller JUMP BACK was also released within that time frame). Of course that period, early 90's, was the all-time high in selling albums generally (the golden age of CD-era), but still a great achievement.
If we take into account those incredibly successful tours (Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle and Voodoo Lounge tours) it was indeed a great come-back for veteran rockers back to form!

Crucify me if you want ...but it always amazes me how well Exile has sold down the years .
Why ?
Because to the average "AOR" listener it sounds like their kids' band practising in the garage.
Exile is at the same time sublime...and a right bloody racket !
I think EXILE having the best 'brand' of their catalogue albums, and they have managed to make sure that any respected rock fan should, next to HOT ROCKS or something like that, own it. If the reviews were rather mild initially, the band should thank the press ever since. For example, it always makes the top spots in the lists of best albums ever by ROLLING STONE magazine (once recall it being #2 only next to SGT. PEPPER). Its deluxe-edition was a huge million success as well salewise (for example, re-entering #1 in UK list), and seemingly UMG and the band made a great job in promoting it.
However, I share your feelings... EXILE is not an 'easy-listening' album. So I wonder how many of its buyers actually have nerves to listen the album so much in order to 'get it'.... Honestly, of the people I know who love rock but aren't any big Stones fans particularly, EXILE seem to confuse them... by contrast, the greatness of STICKY FINGERS and LET IT BLEED seems to be recognized rather easily... Those albums seem to speak more in terms of 'traditional rock'.
