With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, Spotify has exclusively shared with Billboard the list of chart-topping hits with romantic themes whose lyrics were the most shared by users around the world. Coming out on top was Conan Gray‘s Billboard Hot 100 No. 46 hit “Heather,” followed by the Walters’ “I Love You So,” Coldplay‘s breakthrough 2000 single “Yellow,” Ed Sheeran‘s 2017 No. 1 Hot 100 smash “Perfect” and another Coldplay, track, “Sparks.”
Spotify, which expanded access to view real-time song lyrics for users on its free tier two years ago, also revealed on Wednesday morning (Feb. 4) which chart-topping hits’ lyrics were most viewed globally. That roster was topped, no surprise, by Taylor Swift‘s 2025 Hot 100 No. 1 “The Fate of Ophelia,” followed by “End of Beginning” by Djo, “Golden” by KPop Demon Hunters‘ HUNTR/X, “La Perla” by Rosalía and Yahritza Y Su Esencia and “Die on This Hill” by Sienna Spiro.
In addition, Spotify said fans are definitely checking out the lyrics to some of the most popular songs on the internet, from viral hits to stone-cold classics, with Raye’s “Where Is My Husband” coming out on top. That Hot 100 No. 13 charter was followed by “I Thought I Saw Your Face Today” by She & Him, Radiohead’s 1993 breakthrough classic “Creep,” sombr’s “Back to Friends,” KATSEYE’s “Gabriela” and 2026 best new artist Grammy winner Olivia Dean’s “Lover, You Should Come Over.”
Among the other lyric upgrades rolled out by Spotify on Wednesday are the expansion of lyrics translation worldwide after the service was initially rolled out in more than 25 markets around the globe last year. Translations will appear for both free and premium tier patrons based on the device’s language, with users easily able to switch back to the original lyrics anytime they want.
In addition, lyrics for tracks downloaded for offline listening will automatically be saved as well with no service required in a global perk for premium users and lyric previews will now appear directly beneath the album artwork or short Canvas clips as a song plays. Users can still share their favorite lyrics directly on social platforms from the New Playing view, with lyric previews rolling out globally for both free and premium users on mobile (iOS and Android) and tablet.
