The Weeknd has been one of the most dominant artists in the world over the last two years, as he has been getting to this point for the past decade. Last year, the Canadian native scored a number one album with “After Hours,” as this came after having two new number one singles in “Heartless” and “Blinding Lights.”
Blinding Lights has been The Weeknd’s biggest record of his career so far, as it’s been breaking records every month. Now, it has reached another huge milestone.
According to Chart Data, Blinding Lights has passed 2.5 billion Spotify streams, according to Chart Data. This now becomes the fastest song in history, to do this.
Blinding Lights is also currently 9x platinum in the US. It is anticipated that it will hit diamond status, before 2021 is over. This record was initially released in November 2019, and hasn’t slowed down since. It currently stands at No. 20, on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
