Ed Sheeran — Shape of You

Few pop songs have aged into permanent infrastructure quite like this one, and it is back on 96 country and platform charts today after a month-long lull. The dancehall-tinged single — written by Sheeran with Steve Mac and Johnny McDaid, and originally drafted for Little Mix before he kept it — remains the most-streamed song in Spotify history, with its all-time streaming lead sitting near 4.7 billion plays. When it arrived in January 2017 alongside Castle on the Hill, Sheeran became the first artist to debut two songs in the Hot 100's top ten the same week. Its broad presence now reflects what a catalog evergreen does: it recedes, then resurfaces, without needing a reason.
