Justin Bieber Sets Spotify
Record With 7 Billion Streams Bieber’s popularity seems
to never stop growing. His latest victory comes on Spotify,
where he has officially passed seven
billion streams on the platform. He was previously tied with Post Malone, who had
also accumulated six billion streams after his single,
“I Fall Apart,” reached the one billion mark. Bieber’s duet with Ed Sheeran, “I Don’t Care,”
is what pushed him into the lead, as it recently
passed one billion plays on the platform. He now holds seven of the fewer than 80 tracks
to ever pass Spotify’s one billion milestone. Bieber’s other billion-streamer songs
include his original songs, “Love Yourself,”
“Sorry” and “What Do You Mean?” The other three songs with over a billion streams
were made in collaboration with others: “Despacito”
with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, “Let Me Love You” with
DJ Snake and “Cold Water”
with Major Lazer and MØ. Bieber will likely have another single reach one
billion plays in the near future, as his song,
“I’m the One” is less than 50 million plays away.
