Stromae hits 1B streams on Spotify

According to Belga News Agency, released in 2010 on his debut album Cheese, the track catapulted the Brussels-born artist to international fame and inspired countless remixes and covers. With this milestone, Stromae joins Spotify’s exclusive “Billions Club”, reserved for songs that have crossed the billion-stream threshold.

He is now one of three Belgian artists in the club, alongside Gotye - whose “Somebody That I Used to Know” has amassed 2.5 billion streams - and DJ Lost Frequencies, with “Where Are You Now” (1.75 billion) and “Are You with Me” (1.4 billion).

In 2023, Stromae became only the second French artist – after Indila – to surpass one billion YouTube views with a French-language song, thanks to “Papaoutai”.

After a hiatus, Stromae returned in 2021 with the single “Sante”, followed by “L’Enfer” and the acclaimed album Multitude in 2022. A world tour launched soon after but was cut short in March 2023 due to health concerns. Since then, he has kept a low profile.

Earlier, it was reported that Dimash had unveiled the concept for the first chapter of DIMENSIONS world tour.
