The people was a big song and wasn’t that the Common song used for one of the Jordan commercials? I could be wrong

Finding Forever was Common’s first number 1 album and The People was a single. Not surprising it would be amongst his bigger streaming songs.


That plus Common is damn near an EGOT member. That will open him up to a different fanbase

It's a classic song, but 600 million streams, though? :patrice:It didn’t even make the Hot 100 when it originally dropped in 2007.

For reference, That’s The Way Love Goes by Janet was a #1 smash hit in 1993 (topped the Hot 100 for 8 weeks) and has 125 million streams on Spotify.

Something else is at play here. It must of went viral on TikTok or something.

I didn't look through the entire list. But I looked at some of the songs on that Jazz list. Pharoah and J5 songs ain't even in their top 5. So I don't understand this with Common

Look at the icon. It's on a bunch of playlists.

The People keep skipping over this post. i think that’s probably the most logical explanation

That album is a Universal Music Group compilation released last year. I wouldn’t even consider some of the other songs on there as jazzy tho lol. Mayor by Pac Div, Sookie Now by Big K.R.I.T. and Yeah Yeah U Know It by Keith Murray.

Some of the posters in this thread don't seem to even know the song calling it jazzy/lofi/study music...

When it's probably one of the most aggressive beats Com spit on

There is DEF something wrong with the streaming numbers, unless it was played at Queen of England's funeral or something
