NOBEL PRIZE SPURS BIG STREAMS FOR DYLAN

Bob Dylan’s Nobel Prize for Literature may have occasioned some debate—with some snobs claiming the legendary songwriter was somehow less qualified than a novelist or non-musical poet—but the news certainly caused his streams to go through the roof. The Desert Trip co-headliner enjoyed 2.6 million on-demand audio streams at all digital providers last week. Let’s take a look at the top-streaming selections from his literary oeuvre:

“Like a Rolling Stone” 232k
“Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” 155k
“The Times They Are A-Changin’” 142k
“Hurricane” 109k

Not bad for tracks that are between 40 and 50 years old.
