In June 2014, the Official Charts Company (OCC) started including audio streams in the official UK Singles Chart, recognising their importance as an indicator of current popular trends and tastes in music. From this point onward, the popularity of a single or album track can be measured by both sales (which include paid downloads) and streams on officially recognised subscription and ad-funded on-demand services. Although the OCC added these figures to the chart in July 2014, they started compiling them in 2012. They are taken from on-demand audio streaming services, including Spotify, Deezer, Napster, O2 Tracks, Music Unlimited, Xbox Music and rara, members of the Entertainment Retailers Association (ERA).〔 In July 2014 the OCC announced that Pompeii by Bastille was the most streamed song in the UK with 26.6 million streams. Since then this number has been passed by several songs including "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran, which has been streamed over 60 million times. It spent a record 7 weeks at number one in the Official Audio Streaming Chart (since beaten by "Cheerleader" by OMI). "Rather Be" by Clean Bandit featuring Jess Glynne was the most streamed song in 2014 with just short of 40 million and "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars was the most streamed in the first six months of 2015 with 45 million.〔 The song that has been streamed the most times in a chart week is "Hello" by Adele, which was streamed 7.32 million times in the week ending 5 November 2015, almost double the previous record held by Justin Bieber with "What Do You Mean?". The record for most streams in a week has been broken many times since 2012 when the OCC started measuring it as streaming levels have continued to grow. In 2013, "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk was the first song to achieve 1 million streams in a week, "Uptown Funk" broke the 2 million streams barrier at the end of 2014 and in April 2015 "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth passed 3 million streams for the first time. In the same week that "Hello" by Adele broke the 7 million mark, Justin Bieber also passed 4 million.〔 In the week ending 4 October 2014, "All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor became the first single ever to reach the UK top 40 on streams alone before it was available to download and in the week ending 13 December 2014, "Thinking Out Loud" became the first song to reach number one despite selling less than the number-two song, due to streaming.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top 40 UK Single Sales )〕 During 2015, streaming continued to grow with an 80 percent increase in the first half of the year compared with the same period in 2014, with 59 songs being streamed more than 10 million times〔 and 17 more than 20 million times. ==Most streamed songs== This list is arranged in order of release date as the number of streams given are snapshots at different dates and many of the totals are increasing significantly every week. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of most streamed songs in the United Kingdom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
