If decades ago we measured the success of a song by the number of copies sold, for years this metric changed by the number of reproductions on the main streaming platforms.

Among all these platforms, the number one today is Spotify . So, the Swedish platform is usually a good indicator to measure the success of a launch.

That is why today we are going to show you the 10 most listened to electronic music songs on Spotify .

Without a doubt, 'Wake Me Up' is one of the most important songs of Avicii's career . This song features Aloe Blacc on vocals and Mike Einziger on guitar.

Additionally, both Linkin Park member Mike Shinoda and Arash Pournouri have producer credits.

As a curiosity, when Avicii presented this song at the Ultra Music Festival Miami 2013 , it was highly criticized and his new style mixing electronic and country music did not have the expected reception.

Finally, the song became a success and currently has 1,250,000,000 views on Spotify.

When two artists of the stature of DJ Snake and Justin Bieber come together , the result can only be a success.

'Let Me Love You' , the collaboration of these two artists was released for sale in 2016, within the album of the French artist called Encore.

As a curiosity, the demo of this song featured the vocal of Selena Gomez or CL before finally deciding on the Canadian artist.

The decision seems to have been the correct one since the song has more than 1,362,500,000 reproductions .

An Avicii session in Ibiza inspired Mike Posner to create his song 'I Took A Pill In Ibiza' .

Despite having produced with Tim a song called 'Stay With You' , it would be another artist who would take Mike Posner to number one.

The Norwegian trio Seeb remixed this song in a tropical house that was very fashionable at the time.

This remix was nominated for a Grammy and currently has 1,363,500,000 views on Spotify.

Who was going to tell Alan Walker that a song of his without copyright would end up being one of the most listened to songs of the last decade.

That's right, 'Fade' , it was the instrumental version of 'Faded' that was released in 2014.

The 400 million views he obtained in a short time made Sony Music sign a contract with him whose first release was 'Faded' , the version vocal, sung by Iselin Solheim , of his great success. It currently has 1,365,000,000 views on Spotify.

If The Chainsmokers are the electronic music artists with the most views on Spotify , it is logical that we have one of their songs in the top 10.

'Don't Let Me Down' is undoubtedly one of the greatest hits of Andrew and Alex.

His characteristic guitar and the mix with that trap sound, added to the great voice of Daya , an artist who was 17 years old of those, managed to take this song to number one on the charts. It currently has 1,399,000,000 views on Spotify.

Bastille had written a very lighthearted song which they thought could be a hit. For this they looked for an artist with whom to collaborate.

Finally, there Marshmello appeared , who was able to give the final touch to make this song one of the most listened to singles in the history of Spotify. Its 1,415,000,000 views prove it.

Major Lazer and MØ started with this project that they ended up leaving aside since he was not of sufficient level although they saw potential for him.

A year later they rewrote the song and contacted DJ Snake to ask for help with the work.

The rest is history and 'Lean On' was one of those themes that changed the most commercial EDM of that time. 1,460,000,000 views endorse its importance.

Putting together two great groups like The Chainsmokers and Coldplay , can only give a good result. 'Something Just Like This' is a good example of this.

This song was the second single from The Chainsmokers debut album and one of the most popular songs of 2017.

As proof of this, its 1,511,000,000 reproductions that place it within the top 3 most listened to electronic music songs on Spotify.

Perhaps this topic is one of the great surprises on the list due to its protagonists.

'Starboy' was the first single from the album by the Canadian singer of the same name.

In this LP we also find 'Feel It Coming' , his other collaboration and the last two works of Daft Punk , which has already announced their separation.

With 1,546,000,000 views , this collaboration bears the silver medal on this list.

For the third time in this top 10, The Chainsmokers enters the scene. If they are the electronic music artists with the most reproductions on Spotify alternative, it is logical that they have several of the most listened to songs.

And with its 1,977,000,000 views , it looks like it's going to stay in the No. 1 position for a long time.

As a curiosity, in addition to The Chainsmokers & Halsey , Shaun Frank , Lauren Jauregui from Fitfh Harmony and Isaac Slade and Joe King from The Fray have also participated in the composition of this song .
