Someone has mapped the highest-earning songs in the world by country.

Because the inner financial workings recorded music industry is so opaque, this was a tough assignment. A company called NetCredit found a way to measure the top-earning songs by country. To do this, they pulled up some Spotify stats and sorted things into a series of buckets.

• Only songs that spent at least one week at number one of Spotify’s weekly charts were chosen. This was done country by country.
• Songs were then sorted into genres.
• The number of streams for each song was multiplied by the average payout per stream (between $0.003 and $0.005).
• Voila! The highest-earning song per country.

Here are some topline results:

• The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” was the top earner in the most countries. (10)
• The biggest earner overall was “Sunflower” by Post Malone. It was at the top in both Canada and the US.
• When it comes to hip-hop, local artists are the ones that earn the most.
• The UK is still in love with a Killers’ tune that’s almost 20 years old.
