Spotify has released a new concert film featuring Billions Club member The Weeknd – check it out below.
In 2024, The Weeknd – real name Abel Tesfaye – shattered Spotify records when he became the most-awarded Billions Club musician in history. To become a member of the coveted Billions Club, a musician has to earn a billion Spotify streams on a singular song. Tesfaye is far in the lead, with a whopping 25 songs that have crossed the billion mark.
To celebrate the achievement, The Weeknd and Spotify teamed up for the first-ever Billions Club Live invite-only concert in December, which took place at an old hangar in California. Last night (January 7), the full performance was released as a concert film via Spotify.
