Yes, it's the total playcount, if you use Spotify on a PC you can check it, the songs that share the same tittle share the same ammount of plays, SEASONS (single, duty, a best, a summer best, etc) all of them have 6M (almost 7M) streams in total, but every version of the same song with a different tittle (SEASONS - So Happy So Sad remix, SEASONS A Classical Version, SEASONS live from PoM 11, etc) have their own total playcount :yes

The next songs to reach the 1M mark are:

progress 989,544K
glitter 984,500k
Love song 979,612k
aeternal 977,316k

I'm so happy for aeternal being kinda popular lol

Love song would have made a fine single!

Also very surprised to see Song 4 you reaching the milestone before progress.

yay for aeternal! the streams are very good.

Go Love song, it’s probably my favourite song of hers! I’ll go listen to it now to boost those numbers hahaha

Ohia no Ki seems to be doing really good as well, it has around 455K streams :yes

Yeah think the newer songs would have a much better chance if they were promoted outside of her fanbase.

^Agree!

Guys I made a playlist with Ayu's "rare" songs (I wanted to name it "B-Sides" but most of these are not really B-sides lol)

I included:

-Two of Us
-LOVE~since1999~ (feat. Tsunku)
-WHATEVER - J VERSION (I included this one since it's different to the PV and album version)
-ever free
-theme of a-nation'03
-teens
-teens - acoustic version
-Life
-Happening Here
-My Way (M-Flo)

I wanted to include songs like 『A』~La French Mix~ (m.c.A·T) and Tell All (studio version) but they don't seem to be on Spotify :no

If someone has any suggestion feel free to tell me so I can add it! :D

^ Omg thanks!!

Iirc Tell All was supposed to be a TA exclusive song (the first version was only available to download on her website if you bought all 4 releases for her 15th anniversary celebration, and the other version was a bonus track on the TA version of A ONE, cmiiw), so makes sense that it's not on spotify

Well, at least we can find the live version of Tell all in the 15h anniversary Tour live album

Seven days war might be something to include?

@rainbow_smile I think you're right! there's the audio from A Best Live but I wasn't sure if add "live" songs, but maybe it's a good idea!

@Ruan Borges Yeah! Wasn't sure if to include "live" versions but I'll do that!

@tokyoxjapanxfan yeah I forgot about that one lol thanks!
So after this I decided to include:

-Tell All (Live from A BEST LIVE)
-Seven days war - crossroad single
-Sotsugyou Shashin (卒業写真) - A Ballads

I was thinking on also include the 10th anniversary versions of Who..., YOU and LOVE~Destiny~ what do guys think?

maybe the SEASONS H-H Remix? Since it features the "ayu ayu ayu" that they always play on the tours but many people don't know its actually a released remix. The chinese version of MY ALL as well? a song is born feat. KEIKO might be considered an "rare" song? Since it's one of a few featurings she ever released and is only available as a single. dream ON can also be considered as rare? the single version of monochrome that is slightly different from the album version.

^Yeah those could work as well! I'll add them later today, thanks ^^

Quick stats update:

progress has reached 1M streams, this is her 32nd song to reach this mark.

I appreciate all your Spotify Updates, don´t you want to open a new thread and make a nice overview in the first post?
We are hitting 500 posts in this thread anyways in a few posts^^

^ I second this, loving the updates!
And I am ON IT, Love song is my favourite Ayu song ever so I can’t wait for it to reach 1M!

Yes, sure thing! I'll wait until tomorrow so it doesn't feel like spam lol I have never opened a "continuation" to an already existing thread, is the same as usual just indicating in the name that is "part 2" or do I need to do something else? I'm kinda bad at using forums tbh even now I struggle a lot trying to post YouTube videos here :laugh

^So sorry I posted a thread before reading this lol can you delete it so I can open the new one as you just said? so sorry :laugh
