Discover Rihanna’s Single track that just Achieves 1 Billion Spotify Streams

Rihanna’s “Don’t Stop the Music” is her latest single to achieve one billion streams on Spotify.

“Don’t Stop the Music” is far from the first Rihanna song to enter Spotify’s Billions Club. Last year, she became the first female artist to have 10 songs reach the milestone.

Among Rihanna’s solo tracks to surpass one billion Spotify listens are “Needed Me,” “Love on the Brain,” “S&M,” “Only Girl (In the World,)” and “Diamonds.” Collaborations to achieve the record include “Work [ft. Drake],” “Umbrella [ft. Jay-Z],” “We Found Love [ft. Calvin Harris],” “Stay [ft. Mikky Ekko],” “FourFiveSeconds” alongside Kanye West and Paul McCartney, and Eminem’s “Love the Way You Lie.”

“Don’t Stop the Music” appeared on Rihanna’s third album, 2007’s Good Girl Gone Bad, which launched her into a new echelon of superstardom. The record also included the hits “Umbrella,” “Shut Up and Drive,” and “Hate That I Love You.”

“Don’t Stop the Music” samples a part of Michael Jackson’s “Wanna Be Startin’ Something” originally interpolated from the legendary 1970s disco smash “Soul Makossa.” The single reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 50th Grammy Awards. “Don’t Stop the Music” helped usher in a new era of dance music in the United States.

“It was a seminal record in the sense that, prior to that song and Justin Timberlake’s ‘SexyBack,’ dance music was basically non-existent in American pop,” the song’s production duo, StarGate, later told Entertainment Weekly. “People would always say, ‘That four-to-the-floor kick-drum pattern doesn’t work in America, it’s not going to work on radio.’ And up until that point, they would’ve been right.”

Rihanna’s 2016 album ANTI recently landed at No. 55 on Apple Music’s 100 Best Albums of All Time collection.
