Katy Perry's 'Legendary Lovers' hits 100 million

Katy Perry’s “Legendary Lovers” appears to have crossed 100 million streams on Spotify in mid-May, giving a long-running album track a new platform milestone more than a decade after its release. Third-party tracking sites and fan posts circulated the claim on May 16 and May 17, while Spotify’s own public track page continued to show the song as part of Perry’s 2013 album *PRISM*. The song was not released as one of the album’s main singles. The milestone reflects a recent rise in daily streams for the track rather than a new official release, according to chart-tracking data. ### How close was the song to 100 million on the latest available tracker update? Kworb, a widely used music-tracking site, listed “Legendary Lovers” at 98,390,781 Spotify streams as of an update stamped May 16, 2026. The same page showed the song adding 1,004,467 streams per day. At that pace, the song would move past 100 million within roughly two days of that update, based on a simple calculation from the posted totals. (kworb.net) A separate Kworb track-history page showed “Legendary Lovers” returning to Spotify chart activity in multiple markets in April 2026. The page listed weekly totals including 238,243 streams in Poland for the week of April 9, 371,696 for the week of April 16 and 524,499 for the week of April 30, alongside entries in Norway, the Czech Republic and other territories. ### Was “Legendary Lovers” a single or an album track? (kworb.net) Spotify’s track page identifies “Legendary Lovers” as a Katy Perry song from 2013. Perry’s official store and Capitol’s store both list the song in the *PRISM* tracklist, placing it near the front of the album rather than as a later bonus addition. The *PRISM* listings available through official retail pages show “Roar,” “Legendary Lovers,” “Birthday,” “Walking On Air,” “Unconditionally,” and “Dark Horse” among the album’s tracks. (kworb.net) Those pages do not identify “Legendary Lovers” as a standalone single release. ### Why did fans start posting about it now? May 17 fan discussion appears to have been driven by the gap between the last published tracker total and the song’s current daily pace. (open.spotify.com) An ATRL forum post published on May 17 said the track had surpassed 100 million Spotify streams and described it as Perry’s first non-single to reach that mark and her 37th song overall to do so. Reuters could not independently confirm the “37th song” count from Spotify directly, because Spotify’s public song pages do not display cumulative totals. (shop.katyperry.com) The X post cited in fan discussion was not viewable through web fetches used for this report, but the claim aligns with the timing implied by the May 16 Kworb update and the song’s posted daily gain. That is an inference from third-party tracker data, not a Spotify statement. ### What does the recent chart activity show about the song’s run? April 2026 chart data suggest “Legendary Lovers” has been drawing renewed listening across several markets. (atrl.net) Kworb’s weekly history page showed the song charting in Poland, Norway, the Czech Republic, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia during late April, with its highest listed weekly position at No. 39 in Poland. (kworb.net) Katy Perry’s broader Spotify catalog remains heavily concentrated in earlier hits. Kworb’s artist page listed “Dark Horse” near 1.97 billion streams, “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” near 1.87 billion and “The One That Got Away” above 1.54 billion, while “Legendary Lovers” sat just below 100 million in the same update. ### Where can listeners find the song now? Spotify continues to host “Legendary Lovers” on Perry’s catalog pages, and Perry’s official store still sells *PRISM* on vinyl with the song in the printed tracklist. (kworb.net) Capitol’s store also lists the album with the same song sequence. As of May 17, 2026, the next public confirmation point is likely the next daily refresh on third-party Spotify trackers or any updated post from Spotify or Perry’s team. (kworb.net) Kworb’s artist page was last updated on May 16, 2026, according to the page timestamp. (open.spotify.com)
