It’s the most streamed song to ever grace a music streaming service.
Drake‘s ‘One Dance’ has become the first song to be streamed one billion times via Spotify.
It was recently announced that the Canadian rapper has been crowned Spotify’s most streamed artist in 2016, for the second year running, but now Billboard reports that ‘One Dance’ has also become the first song on the platform to be streamed a billion times. The track, released in April, is the most streamed song to ever grace the service with its star being the most streamed artist ever too.
Drake attracted 4.7 billion Spotify streams in 2016, despite his album ‘Views’ being an exclusive to rival Apple Music for the first two weeks of its release back in April.
“Drake has been unstoppable this year – he’s a true global superstar,” says Stefan Blom, Spotify’s Chief Content & Chief Strategy Officer. “With the top album and the top song this year, as well as his successful Summer Sixteen tour, Drake continues to engage his fans in a way that only Drake can; it’s no surprise he is dominating the music industry.”
