Avicii’s “Wake Me Up” Reaches 1 Billion Views on YouTube
Avicii makes his way into the history books, as the music video for his track “Wake Me Up” reached 1 billion views on YouTube.
“Wake Me Up” is only the second major dance music track to reach that milestone. Earlier this year, Major Lazer, DJ Snake and MØ‘s “Lean On” reached the one billion plateau in just under one year. “Wake Me Up” was first uploaded to YouTube in July 2013, so it took a few days under exactly three years.
“Wake Me Up” was the lead single for the Swede’s debut studio album, True. The track peaked at No. 1 on the majority of the world’s Top 40 radio charts. It’s also quite popular on Spotify, having received close to 446 million plays.
