Avicii’s “Wake Me Up” has passed 3 billion streams on Spotify.
Nearly 13 years after its release, the multi-platinum lead single from the legendary Swedish DJ and producer’s 2013 debut album, True, now joins a class of less than 50 songs to ever reach the 3 billion mark on the streaming platform, and is the most-streamed song by a Swedish artist on the platform, according to the late artist’s estate.
It’s the latest of several streaming milestones for the famous folk-EDM mashup featuring singer-songwriter Aloe Blacc, which charted for 54 weeks and reached No. 1 in over 20 countries after its release in June 2013.
A year after the track debuted at Ultra Miami in 2013, “Wake Me Up” became the first song to reach 200 million streams on Spotify, and, less than a decade later, helped make Avicii the first Swedish artist to eclipse 2 billion streams on the platform.
“This remarkable milestone stands not only as a testament to its timeless significance but also echoes the profound impact Tim left on electronic dance music,” reads a post on the artist’s official Instagram account.
