Queen is King of classic rock on Spotify.
Just recently, Van Halen's "Jump" reached one billion streams on Spotify. Quite an impressive number. It got me to wondering: How many other classic rock songs have reached the one-billion mark? So I did a little research and found out there's one band with more billion-streamed songs than any other, and that honor goes to Queen. In fact, they hold the crown for having the most streamed classic rock song on Spotify.
