The Top Plays (Song) award is an annual honor presented at the Warz Music Awards to the song that has accumulated the most plays across charts and Stats.fm for the entire year.

Eligibility and Qualifications

To be eligible for a nomination for Top Plays (Song), the following criteria must be met:

  • The song must have been released and actively charted during the year.
  • A maximum of five songs are nominated, based on the highest total plays reported by Stats.fm.

Selection Process

The award follows a strictly statistical process:

  • The five songs with the highest total plays on Stats.fm are automatically nominated.
  • The song ranked #1 on Stats.fm usually wins all 100 votes. However, it is important to note that a song variant's plays are counted together. For example, at the 2025 award show, Teardrops had the highest single listing on Stats.fm, but Yes, And? won after all variants were combined.
