One Direction pass one billion Spotify streams milestone

One Direction have broken the one billion streams barrier on Spotify.

The boyband passed the milestone after the release of their latest album 'FOUR'.

They are only the second British-based group to have achieved the feat after Coldplay.

One Direction's most streamed song is 'Story of My Life', which has racked up 90m streams worldwide.

Spotify's head of Label Relations for Europe Kevin Brown said in a statement: "Not surprisingly, One Direction are one of the most popular bands on Spotify, with many millions of dedicated fans listening to their music.

"We congratulate 1D on joining the very select club of artists who are true streaming superstars."

The group are the fourteenth act to achieve over one billion streams, with Eminem, David Guetta and Rihanna the first to reach the milestone.
