Disney's Official Top 100 most-streamed songs in the UK

For so many, the name Disney means childhood. 

Whether you were raised on the animated classics, experienced the Disney Renaissance of the 1990s in real-time or now have children of your own who have become obsessed with the new generation of hits from franchises like Frozen or Descendants, generations have been raised on the songs found in Disney films and TV shows.

And this legacy continues today - just this week, it looks like the cast of Disney's newest animated classic Encanto could secure the Number 1 spot on the Official Singles Chart with their breakout hit We Don't Talk About Bruno.

To celebrate, we've collated the data and crunched the numbers and are unveiling, for the first time ever, the Official Top 100 most-streamed Disney songs in the UK. Based on Official Charts Company UK audio and video streaming data, the list includes any song released by the Disney record label, from animated films, to live-action blockbusters and TV shows.

Let's get stuck into a few select highlights. 

MORE: The highest-charting Disney songs on the UK charts

88. This Is Me - Demi Lovato & Joe Jonas
From: Camp Rock (2008)
UK streams: 14.2 million

The emotional centrepiece of Camp Rock, the mid-tempo rammer from an ascendant Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas is the only song from the two-film franchise about the student attendants of a musical summer camp to chart inside the Top 100. 

73. Strangers Like Me - Phil Collins
From: Tarzan (1999)
UK streams: 16.5 million

You may have forgotten the 1999 film Tarzan, made at the very end of Disney's Renaissance period, but its entire soundtrack was the work of British rock icon Phil Collins. It's told from Tarzan's point of view, as he meets other humans for the first time after being raised by apes. 

54. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious - Julie Andrews & Dick Van Dyke
From: Mary Poppins (1964)
UK streams: 20.9 million

The biggest word you ever heard and this is how it goes...various Disney classics from yesteryear don't make the Top 100 due to the more modern invention of streaming, but we're glad to see this barmy highlight from live-action classic Mary Poppins pop in, sung by living legends Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke.

41. Breaking Free - Zac Efron & Vanessa Hudgens
From: High School Musical (2006)
UK streams: 25 million

The song that made stars out of Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, Breaking Free is not only the highest placed song from the original High School Musical trilogy on this list at Number 41, but it's also one of the highest-charting released by Disney in the UK - peaking at Number 9 on the Official Singles Chart in 2006.

33. Beauty And The Beast - Ariana Grande & John Legend
From: Beauty and the Beast (2017)
UK streams: 30.5 million

A big single from Ariana and John taken from the live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast, the release of this song imitates a similar trick Disney used throughout the 90s, hiring popular singers of the day to cover songs featured in the film. The original, sung by Angela Lansbury, lands in the Top 100 at Number 53, proving this really is a tale as old as time.

27. Queen of Mean - Sarah Jeffery
From: Descendants 3 (2019)
UK streams: 33.6 million

Made of TV trilogy Descendants - which follows the exploits of the children of several Disney villains like Maleficent and Cruella De Vil - places several songs in the Top 100, but this is the highest of the lot. It's sung by Canadian actress Sarah Jeffrey, who plays the antagonistic child of Sleeping Beauty and Prince Phillip. 

15. All I Want - Olivia Rodrigo
From: High School Musical: The Musical: The Series (2020)
UK streams: 52.1 million

For those who watched the deliciously meta High School Musical: The Musical: The Series (actual title), the rise of Olivia Rodrigo was no surprise. This was her first hit; written by Olivia during production of the show, and the first time she showed true promise as a songwriter in the vein of her beloved Taylor Swift. 

7. Under The Sea - Samuel E Wright
From: The Little Mermaid (1989)
UK streams: 62.1 million

The highest peak for a 'classic' Disney film, Under The Sea is the sole entry in this Top 10 for a traditionally animated film. Despite being released in 1989, the shine still hasn't dimmed on this silly introduction to the world of The Little Mermaid, sung by Samuel E Wright as the persnickety crab Sebastian. With over 62 million streams in the UK alone, it's clearly still a favourite of kids both young and old!

3. How Far I'll Go - Aul'i Cravalho
From: Moana (2016)
UK streams: 128.9 million

Every Disney princess has her "what is my place in the world" anthem, and this is the one of Polynesian explorer Moana, who leaves her sheltered island village to save the world. How Far I'll Go features a stirring vocal performance by actress Aul'i Cravhalo, who was just 16 when she cut her vocal for the film. In the UK alone, it's been streamed 128 million times. 

2. Let It Go - Idina Menzel
From: Frozen (2013)
UK streams: 133.5 million

You were waiting for this one, weren't you? An instant classic from the moment it was released, Let It Go galvanized Frozen's success as the second-coming of Disney movies as box office events. Featuring veteran Broadway performer Idina Menzel, Let It Go peaked at Number 11 in the UK, and has been streamed over 133 million times and even won the Oscar for Best Original Song. Chart -fact - if you were to cut out video streams, it's the most popular Disney song in the UK on pure audio streams only.

1. You're Welcome - Dwayne Johnson
From: Moana (2016)
UK streams: 150 million

Perhaps a surprise winner to older Disney fans, Moana's You're Welcome is the most-streamed Disney song in the UK - topping the chart with a very healthy 150 million streams. Sung by Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, it's used as a handy introduction to his Moana character Maui, a powerful demi-god with the ability to shapeshift.

Released squarely in the streaming era in 2016, it may never have reached the Official Singles Chart Top 100 but a much-loved modern-day favourite it's become all the same. Some five years after its release, the track is still notching up an average of 675,000 UK streams per week.

Moana places 14 entries inside the Top 100 - the most for any film (which even includes to dubbed covers of How Far I'll Go, in Spanish and Korean, respectively).
