American popstar Miley Cyrus has beaten the record made jointly by Harry Styles' 'As It Was' and Justin Bieber and The Kid LAROI's 'Stay' by becoming the fastest ever artist to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify with her hit 'Flowers'.
American music acts are on the list of chart-topping hits from Miley Cyrus, whose single "Flowers" reached one billion streams faster than any song in Spotifyhistory in 2023. To SZA's smash hit "Kill Bill," which has also amassed more than a billion streams this year.
“Some Flowers never fade,” wrote Spotify before confirming that the track had become “the fastest song to reach one billion streams in Spotify history.” “Thanks a billion, I love you,” wrote Cyrus.
Spotify generally pays between US$.003 (NZ$0.0049) and US$.005 per stream, according to Business Insider. That means it can take more than 300 streams to earn just US$1, while 1 billion streams can equal between US$3 million and US$5 million in royalties.
"Blinding Lights" by the Weeknd is the most-streamed song on Spotify, with over 3.7 billion streams.
The Beatles song "Here Comes the Sun" has racked up more than 1 billion streams on Spotify. The song from the album "Abbey Road" joins 405 other songs in Spotify's Billions Club. Miley Cyrus' song "Flowers" recently became the fastest song to have gotten more than 1 billion.
How Many Streams on Spotify To Make A Dollar? On average, about 300-400 Streams will amount to $1 of revenue. But, as we stated before, this can range from 150-1,000 streams per dollar, depending on the quality of streams you're getting.
How many streams on Spotify = $1000? On average, you'll have to earn 300,000 to 350,000 streams to generate roughly $1000. Due to those variables we mentioned above, however, streams are not created equally.
Have you ever thought about how the artists on platforms like Spotify are paid? Do you think around $4,000 per 1 million streams is high or low? What other things have you seen artists do that would supplement their streaming income?
Miley Cyrus' song becomes the 'fastest in Spotify history to reach 100 million streams' Featured Image Credit: Miley Cyrus/YouTube. Miley Cyrus has apparently smashed a new record with her new song 'Flowers'.
It was never a hit single and got almost no play on Top 40 radio. There's even a dispute over the exact title. Yet “It's a Small World,” also known as “It's a Small, Small World” and “It's a Small World (After All),” is very likely the most played song in music history — nearly 50 million times.

“Butter” by BTS becomes the fastest video in Youtube history to surpass 10 million views, doing so in just 13 minutes.
The addition of “Anti-Hero” to the streaming platform's billion-streams club marks Swift's fourth song to hit the milestone, which has been achieved by a total of 449 tracks (according to Spotify's own playlist).
According to most recent information about Spotify's payout rates, 10,000 streams will earn you US$ 43.70. To make a decent living in the USA, you would need at least a million streams per month. If someone really likes your music, we can assume they listen to your album perhaps ten times per month.
The answer is there's no one-size-fits-all answer for every artist. If you're a new artist with only ten followers, it doesn't matter if you have ten monthly listeners or 1 million monthly listeners. Most artists will only reach 1 million monthly listeners on Spotify if they become very popular.
TIDAL ranks higher than both Spotify and Apple Music in terms of royalty rate and the direct artist payouts available on the platform. It's definitely worth weighing up your options when deciding which DSP(s) to upload your music to.
Previously, Spotify play counts for songs listened to less than a thousand times were hidden from view, meaning that both 6 listens and 998 listens would display the underwhelming <1000 – not the sharpest analytical tool, really.
The music video for the third single from “The Marshall Mathers LP 2” is his fourth to earn the milestone of 1.3 billion views on the platform.
