Avicii's “Levels” has ascended to digital godhood after officially passing the 1 billion stream mark on Spotify.
In an era of viral and fleeting hits, “Levels” is proving its staying power as a generational anthem. Released on October 28, 2011, it is Avicii’s sixth song to reach that milestone following “Hey Brother,” “Wake Me Up,” “The Nights,” “Waiting For Love” and “Without You.”
But it's more than just a number – it's a billion moments of joy and a billion memories created on dance floors and at festivals around the world. Even years after Avicii's tragic death, “Levels” continues to resonate, proving that great dance music is truly timeless.
For Avicii fans, listening to “Levels” is an almost spiritual experience. The breakthrough single was a huge achievement for the electronic dance music legend, launching the career of an icon that prevailed before it was cut short in 2018 when he tragically died by suicide.
“Levels” remains one of the most popular EDM songs in the world. Before this year’s Tomorrowland, it had been named the festival’s best anthem in history after garnering the most votes from fans in the “Tomorrowland Top 1000” poll. The 25th anniversary of the event in Belgium then became an emotional requiem for Avicii, whose timeless track found new life at the hands of Hardwell, Afrojack and many more.
