"There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" reaches 500 million plays milestone on Spotify (December 22, 2023)

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out is the first Smiths song to reach the 500 million plays milestone on Spotify, yesterday, making it one of the biggest streaming 80s songs on the platform. Making the mistake to never release it as a single at the time all the more painful.

Top 5 Smiths songs now are:

1. There Is A Light That Never Goes Out 501 million
2. This Charming Man 424 million
3. Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now 281 million
4. How Soon Is Now? 242 million
5. Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want 212 million

Johnny makes it look so easy to play, not sure how the writing process worked between them but if Morrissey heard the riff first I wonder what he thought, whatever it was he certainly delivered some fabulous lyrics.
