The Toronto superstar’s 2019 hit single became the first song to cross the milestone of four billion plays when the streaming service updated its figures on Friday.
It’s the latest benchmark achieved by the hitmaker’s track, which sped past Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” as Spotify’s most-streamed song a year ago.
