"Die With A Smile" becomes fastest song ever to reach 1B on Spotify; destroys record

[Namiskine]

Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars' droplet "Die With A Smile", released on August 16, has already surpassed the 1 billion streams milestone on Spotify on its 96th/97th day*, making it the fastest song ever to do so! It thus breaks the previous fraudulent record by 11/12 days*, as Jungkook's "Seven" did so in 108 days (and Miley Cyrus' "Flowers" in 112 days).

 

Additional info about the instant classic smash (as of Nov. 18):

 

Spotify

- Record-breaking 69 days above 10M streams on the charts (Flowers is 2nd with 29 days)

- 72 days at #1 on the charts, currently sitting as the 11th song with the most days on top (will be #9 in 2 days)

- Reached its peak daily streams average of 10.461.816 streams on its 91st day

- Lady Gaga's 7th and Bruno Mars' 14th (16th if features included) song to reach the 1B milestone

 

Youtube

- 593M streams on the platform

- 310M views for the music video; 3rd most viewed English song of the year (behind APT & Beautiful Things)

 

Global 200

- Most weeks spent at #1 for any song this year (8)

- Most weeks with above 100M streams since the charts creation (11; all consecutive)

 

(Thanks to @Aston Martin for helping me gather everything )

 

 

*To be updated later today with Spotify's counter update as it will be a very close call: ~9.7M streams needed while it did ~9.5M yesterday.

Biggest song ever. Thank you, LADY GAGA (currently 5th greatest pop star of the 21st century, according to Billboard. Katy Perry sits at 25, by the way).

For me the song needed more polishing/some sort of restructuring...it's too repetitive
