Men I Trust are a Canadian dream-pop band from Quebec, beloved by a devoted international following for their hazy, languid, bass-led sound. They are very much an album-and-mood band rather than a singles act, which makes their appearance here a borderline one. But streaming has reshaped their numbers around a single track.
"Show Me How", released in 2018, is a soft, drifting song that became a sleeper hit, spreading through playlists and TikTok as a kind of universal late-night mood and pulling far ahead of the rest of their gentle catalogue.
The band's other songs are loved by fans but trail well behind on streams. "Show Me How" sits near 767 million plays, while their next most-streamed track, "Numb", trails at around 146 million. That puts the ratio at about 5.3, over our 5.0 line.
So by our strict, numbers-only measure, Men I Trust narrowly register as a certified one-hit wonder. We flag the caveat: this is a self-produced, fiercely independent band with a deep, admired catalogue, whose one most universally soothing song has simply, on streams, edged far enough ahead to tip the maths.
