Linkin Park’s “Somewhere I Belong” Hits 1 Billion Streams on Spotify, Becomes Seventh Song to Join Band’s Billions Club

Linkin Park has reached another major streaming milestone: their 2003 single “Somewhere I Belong” has officially surpassed 1 billion plays on Spotify, making it the band’s seventh track to achieve that feat. Originally released as the lead single from their sophomore album Meteora, the song remains a defining anthem of the nu-metal era.

Despite Spotify’s Billion Club being largely dominated by pop, rap, Latin music, and K-pop, a notable number of hard rock and metal tracks have broken the 1 billion mark over the years. Alongside Linkin Park, other rock and metal artists with songs in Spotify’s Billions Club include:

• AC/DC – “Back In Black,” “Highway To Hell,” “Thunderstruck,” “You Shook Me All Night Long”
• Aerosmith – “Dream On,” “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing”
• Bon Jovi – “Livin’ On A Prayer,” “You Give Love A Bad Name”
• Guns N’ Roses – “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” “Welcome To The Jungle,” “November Rain”
• Green Day – “Boulevard Of Broken Dreams,” “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” “American Idiot”
• Metallica – “Enter Sandman,” “Nothing Else Matters,” “Master Of Puppets”
• Nirvana – “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” “Come As You Are,” “Heart-Shaped Box”
• Red Hot Chili Peppers – “Under The Bridge,” “Californication,” “Otherside”

Among Linkin Park’s other billion-stream tracks are: “In The End,” “Numb,” “Faint,” “One Step Closer,” “What I’ve Done,” and the Jay-Z collaboration “Numb / Encore.”

This achievement highlights the enduring global appeal of Linkin Park’s early 2000s catalog, cementing their status as one of rock music’s most streamed acts on the platform.
