Perfect

Why it's moving

Why it's here

The Knot's Real Weddings Study found "Perfect" was the most popular first dance song for US couples starting in 2017, the longest run for any artist before Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love" displaced it. [1] "Perfect" was the UK's Official Christmas Number 1 of 2017, finishing that week with 85,000 combined sales made up of 45,000 downloads and 6 million streams. [2]

In culture

Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.

Every date here is the date the source chart covers, never the date we fetched it. Sources publish on different lags: the Spotify mirror runs about two days behind, TurnTable publishes weekly. One recording, one history: this table also counts the rows sources published under 1 other handle of this record (remasters, official videos).

City pickups

City charts record their parent country as the market, so these do not add to the market count above. One line per country: how many of its rooms picked the song up, and the best of them.
