Ed Sheeran’s "Shape of You" is the first song to reach three billion streams on Spotify
Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" has become the first song on Spotify to reach three billion streams, and Ed Sheeran has responded to the milestone, calling it "absolutely insane".
Yesterday evening (22 December) Spotify announced that Sheeran's ÷ (Divide) hit "Shape of You" had become the first song on the platform to hit three billion streams.
In a video posted on socials, Sheeran said the milestone is "absolutely insane", and added of the song, "It wasn’t really meant to make the album ... but when I finished making the song, Ben Cook, from my record label was basically saying 'you have to put this on the album, it has to be a single', and I said to him 'I want "Castle On The Hill" to be first single, that's gonna be bigger,' and we agreed to disagree and put both songs out at once and… I was wrong. Here we are with "Shape of You" at three billion."
