Methodology

  1. Livefootballtickets.com sought to determine the best EA Sports FIFA song of all time.
  2. To do so they compiled a list of songs used in FIFA soundtracks in 28 different FIFA games from the games first release in 1993 to the latest release in 2022 using EA.com and FIFplay.
  3. They then analysed Spotify streams and Youtube views for each song. The YouTube video with the most views was chosen and recorded.
  4. 865 songs were analysed in total.
  5. The data was further weighted to establish a score out of 100 for each FIFA song.
  6. After collecting all of the data, the songs were ranked from the highest number of streams and views to lowest, thus creating a list of the best FIFA songs of all time
  7. Data was collected from 09/08/2022 to 15/08/2022, and is accurate as of then but is subject to change.
