Nice seeing this broken down by decades, although some songs still need to be sorted into their right ones (like a 1971 song from John Denver being on the 90s list). Also noticed "Total Eclipse of the Heart" is missing despite having over 600 million streams.

i noticed that as well that a few songs were in the wrong decades but mostly they got it right.

A couple of big wrong decades I noticed near the top. Billie Jean (released in 1983) is listed as a 70s song while Dreams (released in 1977) is listed as an 80s song.
