Kygo Becomes Quickest Artist To Accumulate One Billion Spotify Streams

Recently, it was announced that Kygo was Spotify’s Breakout Artist of 2015. As if that wasn’t enough, the Norwegian superstar is officially the fastest artist to accumulate over a billion plays on Spotify. Much of this milestone is in big thanks to the 300 million streams of “Firestone” and “Stole The Show” and the 200,000 followers of his two playlists.

Ultra Music, Kygo’s label, is also very proud of the feat. The label’s founder had some nice words regarding Kygo’s rapid rise to the top:

“Kygo brings quality musicianship and songs as well as a magnificent feel for melody to Electronic music in an unparalleled way. As one of the most exciting new artists in the world, it comes as no surprise that Kygo is breaking records and barriers across the musical landscape.”

Big ups to Kygo. Keep it coming, fella.
