Spotify Billions Club 2024: Who Made The List?

Cardi B, the certified “Bongos” hitmaker, appeared on the latest episode of Spotify’s Billions Club: The Series — the digital franchise that features artists celebrating the career achievement of surpassing 1 billion streams on the platform. It has previously featured Ariana Grande, Bad Bunny, Billie Eillish, Post Malone, Lisa, Jungkook from BTS.

This year, Cardi received plaques for four of her Billboard-charting hits — Maroon 5’s “Girls Like You,” “WAP” featuring Megan Thee Stallion, “I Like It” with J Balvin and Bad Bunny, and “Taki Taki” with Selena Gomez, Ozuna, and DJ Snake — which helped her enter the special club, and, in a viral video, she had eaten off one of the Spotify plaques, stating, “I have a billion streams mother f***er, None of these hoes can be me bitch.”

She enthusiastically celebrated this achievement, showcasing the Billions Club as a badge of honour for musicians in the streaming age. But Cardi B isn’t alone. There are currently over 634 songs on the Spotify Billions Club playlist, representing the pinnacle of streaming success. Here’s a look at some of the artists leading the pack:

Ed Sheeran, The king of streaming, reigns supreme with a staggering 11 songs boasting over a billion streams each. Hot on Sheeran’s heels are Post Malone and The Weeknd, each with an impressive 10 songs on the Billions Club playlist.

Ariana Grande, often hailed as one of pop music’s reigning queens, stands out as the female artist with the most songs on the Billion Club list, with an impressive 7 tracks. This accomplishment places her as the fifth artist overall, joining the ranks of heavyweights like XXXTENTACION, Eminem, and Bruno Mars with the same number of hits. Grande’s dominance on the platform shows the range of her songs and the unwavering support of her dedicated fanbase. Right behind her are Drake and Coldplay with a record-breaking 6 songs, including, “One Dance,” “God’s Plan,” and “Hotline Bling.”

While Cardi may have declared her dominance with a billion streams on 4 songs, Spotify’s Billions Club highlights the ever-growing power of streaming and the range of artists captivating audiences worldwide. With The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” holding the title for the most streamed song on the platform, it’s clear that catchy tunes and global appeal are the recipe for streaming success.
