Music streaming giants Spotify have announced a new most-played song and it’s not what you’d expect.

Major Lazer’s Lean On has knocked Ed Sheeran’s Thinking Out Loud off the top spot with an astonishing 526 million plays globally. According to Billboard, he earworm was heralded as ‘Song of The Summer’ by Spotify earlier this year.

Fun Fact: The song was originally turned down by both Rihanna AND Nicki Minaj (The Guardian). We doubt they’re losing too much sleep over it.
