Spotify confirmed that “Blinding Lights,” taken from The Weeknd’s ‘After Hours,’ was the first track to surpass this mark.
The track broke multiple Billboard records, including a full year in the Hot 100’s Top 10.
The Weeknd leads Spotify’s “Billions Club” with 28 entries, more than any other artist.
Spotify confirmed the five billion stream milestone via Instagram, and The Weeknd acknowledged it on his own account.
