What are the most popular Disney songs in the world?

Considering the popularity of Frozen, it’s no surprise that Let It Go, sung by Idina Menzel in the first instalment of the Frozen franchise, is Disney’s most streamed song with 648,232,446 plays.

This converts to more than £1.8 million in profit for Disney, just from streaming from one song.

Depending on how strict your view is on what counts as a Disney song, trailing behind Let It Go is Rascal Flatts’ version of Life Is A Highway. Appearing in 2006 Disney Pixar movie Cars, this cover song was massively popular and features prominently in the film. 

With 550,228,347 streams on Spotify, it is still significantly behind the power of Elsa, which we’re sure Lightning McQueen will be disappointed with. 

Moana, a 2016 release, takes third and fourth position respectively. Written by Hamilton mastermind Lin Manuel Miranda, the catchy songs on this soundtrack have racked up more than their fair share of listens. 

The inspirational How Far I'll Go has 511,444,879 streams, while The Rock’s cheeky tune You’re Welcome has been played 465,843,338 times. 

To round out the top five we have another Lin Manuel Miranda penned musical, this time Encanto which was released in 2021. . 

This family focused film went from sleeper hit to household favourite thanks to TikTok, and the eminently catchy We Don’t Talk About Bruno spent seven weeks as the UK’s number 1 single in 2022. 

Let It Go, regardless of its whopping number of streams overall, has been around since 2013 and averages almost 6 million streams a month, but as Encanto proves, more recent entries could overtake Frozen… eventually.
