Ed Sheeran's hit "Thinking Out Loud" is the first song to ever reach 500 million streams on Spotify. Sheeran said in a release, ?Being the first artist to hit that milestone is amazing. Thanks to all the people who use this as a wedding song, soundtrack to a date and as a way to woo someone into a Netflix-and-chill situation." Along with that achievement, data from Spotify shows just how insanely popular Sheeran is on the streaming service.
