Beyoncé Breaks Spotify Record as '4' Hits a Billion Streams

Who run the world? Beyoncé.

Beyoncé is no stranger to breaking huge records. She's the only personto have their first six albums debut at Number 1in the US, she's the most nominated woman in Grammy history and she's the highest paid black artist of all time. She's a living legend.

And now the 'Formation' hitmaker is the first woman to have three of their albums surpass one billion Spotify streams.

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'sthree albums to have a billion collective streams on the service.

Its most popular tracks include 'Run the World (Girls)' and 'Love On Top', which have400 million streams combined.

What's most impressive about this feat though is the fact that Beyoncé tends to avoidSpotify in favour of her own streaming platform TIDAL. Her latest album' Lemonade' is yet to be added to Spotify and shewithheld 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 31million monthly listeners on Spotify.

Just imagine how many she would have, if she added 'Lemonade' to the service.
