The Australian singer and songwriter’s breakthrough hit “Dance Monkey” on Tuesday (Dec. 22) moved past two billion streams on Spotify, a rare feat that places Tones in the record books several times over.

Tones (real name Toni Watson) is the first female artist to reach the milestone, and the first Aussie.

never mind the quote cause I'm on mobile 

Wow that's more than what most albums get. A female solo being a hyper smash like this should be celebrated 

I know a lot of people criticize her vocal performance on it but I wonder if it's one of the reasons for the song's popularity.

Solo smash 

Solo smasha

A GENERATION DEFINING HIT!

It will surpass Rockstar probably before 2021 I’m guessing ?

One hit wonder 

And it's still #50 on Spotify WW

She may be a one hit wonder as it currently stands, but **** me, what a hit! 

 

 

 

 

A self-written classique the amount of money she must have made whew

This song’s gargantuan success BAFFLES me. It is very catchy but to be one of the biggest hits of all time is kind of a choice on the GP’s part.

 

Tones is set for life on this song alone lol

I stanned this song so hard October-January but now its awful

From one day to the next this song went from unknown to the top of Spotify playlists and heavy radio rotation worldwide all at once, with no sort of harbinger. That's what baffles me the most. Didn't feel like it actually "blew up," but it was suddenly inescapable.
