What is Spotify’s ‘Billions Club’

The streaming music app has just added Coldplay, Eminem and Doja Cat to that special ‘club’. Have you heard?

From July 2021, Spotify, platform to listen to music via streaming, has been feeding a playlist with the songs that have surpassed the billion views mark on the service. Is named Billions Club, which translates as the Billion Club in Spanish.

Without me, by Eminem; Kiss me more, from Doja Cat; Issuesby Julia Michaels; Y Live life (Coldplay) just joined the official billion list, which is headed by two tracks by the rapper XXXTENTACION, followed by Chandelier, de Sia; Someone like you, by Adele; Y That’s what I like, by Bruno Mars.

When a song recently hits over a billion streams on Spotify, users of the music listening app are being notified of the milestone on the platform’s social media channels.

Currently, as of January 26, there are 211 songs on the famous playlist. Some of the hits presented at the Billions Club are iconic melodies that have lost neither popularity nor validity, such as the legendary Bohemian Rapshody of the equally legendary Queen. Others, on the other hand, have reached the record in much less time, as is the case of Billie Eilish with the single Everything I wanted, released in 2019.

The only compositions in Spanish that have reached the long-awaited top of the billion belong to the urban genre, reggaeton or perreo: I refuse, de Danny Ocean; My people, by J Balvin; coughing, by Karol G; Such. Yes, by DJ Snake with Ozuna, Selena Gómez and Cardi B; and both versions of Slowly of Luis Fonsi (one of them is with Justin Bieber). They were all incorporated on July 21, the same day the billionaire club was created.

Then they joined Dakiti, by Bad Bunny, on July 29; Calmly by Daddy Yankee, on August 26; Y Mine, by Bad Bunny, on December 13.

Of the artists with the most songs on the list are Ed Sheeran with 9 of his hits, Post Malone with 8 and The Weeknd con 6. (E)
