TRAVELthe classic song «Don’t Stop Believin ‘» has reached one billion listens in Spotify.
TRAVEL guitarist Neal Schon commemorated the milestone by posting a screenshot of the band Spotify and included the following message: “Wow! Thanks Fans! We have over a billion streams in Spotify Don’t stop Believin REINA It is the ONLY other band right now. Congratulations guys.
He added in a separate tweet: «TRAVEL Y REINA the only 2 bands to get over 1 billion streams individually for ‘Do not stop believing’ Y ‘Rapsodia Bohemia’ Greetings Friends «.
In a 2009 interview with CBC‘s «Q» cultural affairs show, ex TRAVEL singer Steve Perry he said he always thought “Do not stop believing” – which is also the best-selling digital download of a track that wasn’t originally released this century, according to Nielsen SoundScan – had potential as a single. It was always a hit with live audiences, though it didn’t get a great radio play at the time it aired, he said.
“When we were doing the song in 1981, I knew something was going on, but honestly, when I saw it in the movie ‘Monster’ with Patty JenkinsI started thinking, ‘Oh my God, there really is something.’
He added: “The lyrics are strong lyrics about not giving up, but it’s also about being young, it’s also about hanging out, not giving up and looking for that hidden emotion somewhere in the dark that we’re all looking for. It’s about having hope and not giving up when the going gets tough, because I tell you that things get tough for everyone.
Actual TRAVEL singer Arnel Pineda, who has been in charge of the band for 14 years, said CBS News in 2012, «Even before discovering ‘Don’t Stop Believin’, that’s been my motto, you know, never stop believing in myself. The life I’ve been through, all those hardships, I never stopped believing that someday there will be something magical that will happen in my life.
Last year, at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, «Don’t Stop Believin ‘» It had become a call for patients recovering from COVID-19 at two hospitals in New York and Michigan. The 1981 hit was being replayed at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan and at New York-Presbyterian Queens Hospital during celebrations for patients who prevailed over coronavirus.
