And now the 'Formation' hitmaker is the first woman to have three of their albums surpass one billion Spotify streams.
And true love never has to hide
(True love never has to hide)
I'll trade your broken wings for mine
(Trade your broken wings for mine)
I've seen your scars and kissed your crime
(Seen your scars and kissed your crime)
So many people that I know, they just tryna touch ya
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya
Give you some time to prove that I can trust you again
I'm gonna kiss up, and rub up, and feel up
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya
All night long
Sweet love, all night long
Sweet love, all night long
Sweet love, all night long
All I wanna, ain't no other
We together, I remember
Sweet love, all night long
Our love was stronger than your pride
Beyond your darkness, I'm your light
If you get deep, you touch my mind
(If you get deep, you touch my mind)
Baptize your tears and dry your eyes
(Baptize your tears and dry your eyes)
So many people that I know, they just tryna touch ya
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya
Give you some time to prove that I can trust you again
I'm gonna kiss up, and rub up, and feel up
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya
All night long
Sweet love, all night long
Sweet love, all night long
Sweet love, all night long
All I wanna, ain't no other
We together, I remember
Sweet love, all night long
They say true love's the greatest weapon
To win the war caused by pain (Pain)
But every diamond has imperfections
But my love's too pure to watch it chip away
Oh, nothing real can be threatened
True love breathes salvation back into me
With every tear came redemption
And my torturer became a remedy
So many people that I know, they just tryna touch ya
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya
Give you some time to prove that I can trust you again
I'm gonna kiss up, and rub up, and feel up
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya
All night long
Sweet love, all night long
Sweet love, all night long
Sweet love, all night long
All I wanna, ain't no other
We together, I remember
Sweet love, all night long
How I missed you, my love
YES. YOU HEARD US CORRECTLY. KING B JUST ADDED ANOTHER RECORD TO HER ACHIEVEMENTS LIST.
Today, Beyoncé's critically acclaimed studio album 4 has reached the one billion mark on Spotify. In doing so, it joins I Am... Sasha Fierce and BEYONCÉ, as one of the 'Countdown' singer's three albums to have a billion collective streams on the service.
Its most popular tracks include 'Run the World (Girls)' and 'Love On Top', which have 400 million streams combined.
What's most impressive about this feat though is the fact that Beyoncé tends to avoid Spotify in favour of her own streaming platform TIDAL. Her latest album Lemonade is yet to be added to Spotify and she withheld BEYONCÉ from it for almost a year.
Taking this into consideration, it just goes to show how successful Beyoncé is that she can rule Spotify regardless.
Not to mention, the fact that albums of hers that are over five years old are outstreaming ones that are out today.
As it stands, Beyoncé has over a whopping 31 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
Just imagine how many she would have, if she added Lemonade to the service.
