Pandora has been collecting those little thumbs you've been pushing all year long, assembling them into a list of the most loved songs of 2015 called The Thumb Hundred.
The Weeknd's "Earned It" tops the list, which also boasts such barnburners as Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk" and Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" in its Top 10.
"Listeners flock to Pandora to hear their favorite music," said Lars Murray, SVP, Pandora Music Makers Group. "The Thumb Hundred is unique in radio. It isn't a list of what Pandora told people to listen to, it's a true reflection of what more than 78 million monthly listeners told us their top songs for the year are, through every single thumb up."
Although Taylor Swift had 4 songs in the Hundred, Drake made the list 12 times across his various mixtapes and collaborations. But it was The Weeknd who "Earned It" for the #1 Most Thumbed-Up track.
