Other celebrated game soundtracks, from franchises like Super Mario, Pokémon, and Sonic the Hedgehog, also miss the cut entirely, but for an entirely more understandable reason: most of their official music hasn’t been officially published to streaming services. Even ‘Aerith’s Theme’ only has 1.2 million listens, which is nearly as heartbreaking to hear as the song was that very first time in FFVII. Despite the wide availability of Nobuo Uematsu’s countless OST albums, the Final Fantasy series doesn’t even get close to making the top 25: its highest-performing song, the theme from the original Final Fantasy, registers just three million plays. The biggest shocks don’t come from what makes the top 25, but what’s jarringly absent. Since being added to Spotify, the 14-year-old song has clocked up over 19 million plays. An all-time classic sneaks in at number 17: the marvelous ‘Still Alive’ by Ellen McLain, which served as the heartwarming final song from the iconic Portal.
