2023 has been an incredible year for entertainment, but one movie has truly captivated the world’s attention. Barbie has become the highest-grossing movie of the year worldwide, with $1.36 billion, according to Comscore data and Warner Bros. representatives.

The most streamed song of all nominees is “Dance the Night” by Mark Ronson, Andrew Wyatt, Dua Lipa, and Caroline Ailin. This track has been streamed an impressive 568,359,111 times, resulting in a staggering earning potential of $1,989,256 from Spotify alone.
