They’re swooning for these sappy sounds.
Spotify compiled a list of the Top 10 most streamed love songs of all time for The Post ahead of Valentine’s Day — and when it comes to romantic anthems, artists from across the pond seem to hit all the right notes.
British crooners penned all the songs in the Top 5, with “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran taking the crown as No. 1.
With lyrics like “Oh, darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own, and in your eyes, you’re holding mine,” the song has become a must-play at weddings.
“Around 70% of our couples have chosen the song to be featured in some part of their wedding playlist, from walking down the aisle to the first dance,” wedding harp and vocal duo Adel and Karina told The Post.
The four-time Grammy winner wrote the 2017 ballad for his now-wife Cherry Seaborn, and said it’s the love song for which he will be the most remembered.
“‘Perfect,’ is the one where, whenever I play it at a concert, you see the stadium change, and everyone suddenly starts hugging the person next to them,” he told GQ.
The British singer-songwriter, who has a net worth of $200 million, made the list not one, but three times — with his song “Photograph” ranking as No. 5 and “Thinking out Loud,” No. 7.
“Say You Won’t Let Go” by James Arthur, “whose voice will make you feel like you’re being cradled by a thousand beautiful fluffy clouds,” according to Buzzfeed, landed in second.
With lyrics like, “We danced the night away, we drank too much. I held your hair back when you were throwing up” — it was the natural choice for Westchester, NY couple Stephen and Alana Colletti to use as their wedding song.
The pair was set up on a blind date at a Fourth of July party, and Stephen was so nervous, he had a little too much alcohol.
“It just was so funny that in the song, the guy was taking care of her … and I was giving him coffee and water and trying to sober him up a little bit,” Alana said, laughing.
“It just became our song after that.”
Arthur, a British native who won “The X Factor” in 2012, told Songwriter Universe that his 2016 ballad speaks to “where anyone would like to be, which is to be with a soulmate, with kids and a wife or husband.”
“The rest of the song is romantic and obviously holds true, we want to stay together forever,” Alana added.
The more quirky love song “I Wanna Be Yours” by Arctic Monkeys came in third.
The English indie rock band adapted the 2013 song from a 1982 tune by British poet John Cooper Clarke.
“Yellow” by the British rock band Coldplay took fourth, and its frontman Chris Martin — who was married to Gwyneth Paltrow and is now engaged to Dakota Johnson — penned the hit in 10 minutes.
The 2000 tune — that begins with the words, “Look at the stars, Look how they shine for you,” which Martin sang for the 2016 Super Bowl’s Halftime Show — hit a billion views on YouTube last year.
Rounding out the warm and fuzzy list are: The Night We Met” by Lord Huron; “Die For You” by The Weeknd; “All of Me” by John Legend, and Bruno Mars’ “Just the Way You Are.”
