Frank Ocean's 2012 track “Lost” has hit a new milestone 12 years after its release: It recently hit 1 billion streams on Spotify.
This marks the third Ocean song to reach this milestone, following Calvin Harris' “Slide,” which also features Migos, and “Pink + White.” “Lost” was the fourth single from his debut studio album Channel Orange, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and topped the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. It also won the Grammy for Best Urban Contemporary album at the 2013 awards show, where it was also nominated for album of the Year when Ocean was up for Best New Artist.
“Lost” found new success in Advertising sign chart two years ago thanks to a viral TikTok dance challenge. The song peaked at No. 25 on Hot R&B Songs in 2013 and did not appear on any all-genre charts at the time, but debuted at No. 39 on the all-genre Streaming Songs survey in January 2022 (and later peaked at No. 23) and peaked at No. 10 on R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs, No. 3 on R&B Streaming Songs and No. 2 on R&B Digital Song Sales in February 2022.
Ocean, who headlined the first weekend of Coachella last year but pulled out of the second weekend, hasn't released an album since his 2016 magnum opus Blonde. Blonde earned the elusive artist his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200. Since then, he has occasionally dropped singles including 2017's “Chanel,” “Biking,” “Lens” and “Provider.” 2018's “Moon River.” “DHL” and “In My Room” from 2019. and “Cayendo” and “Dear April” from 2020.
