Type a year, or slide to it, and Echoes reveals the most-streamed song of that year with its artist, album and stream count, set in colours drawn for that year. There is a tour, a decades view and an index of all 67.

## The numbers, honestly

Stream counts are approximate, as of May 2026. For years before 2008 they are streams counted after the fact, which the page says. Cover art comes from Apple’s iTunes Search API.

## The lesson it kept

On 17 May 2026 a service worker that tried to be clever turned small network blips into errors. Its service worker now does one job, push messages, and never touches a request.
