Avicii's 'Wake Me Up' Hits 3 Billion Streams

Avicii's groundbreaking 2013 track, "Wake Me Up," has achieved a historic milestone, surpassing an astounding three billion streams on Spotify as of February 9, 2026. This monumental achievement places the EDM/country classic among the exclusive ranks of just 51 songs globally to have reached this streaming threshold.

Released ahead of the True album in September 2013, "Wake Me Up" quickly became a cultural phenomenon.

By reaching two billion streams in 2023, Avicii also became the first Swedish artist to achieve this number on the platform.

The song's impact extended to the charts, peaking at No. 4 on the Hot 100 and spending 54 weeks on the chart. It also dominated the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, spending 26 weeks at No. 1. Despite initial controversy, including being booed at its 2013 Ultra Music Festival debut, "Wake Me Up" ultimately defined the dance crossover smash format.
