Another day, another entry into Spotify’s Billions Club for Justin Bieber. His SWAG standout “Daisies” has joined the exclusive group, marking yet another track to reach the milestone.
“Daisies” isn’t the first song from the SWAG era to achieve the feat. The live version of “STAY” by Bieber and The Kid LAROI from SWAG LIVE FROM COACHELLA (WEEKEND 1) has already accrued over four billion streams on the platform.
The live album features songs from Bieber’s SWAG era alongside hits from across his catalog. The set includes appearances by the aforementioned The Kid LAROI, alongside Tems, Wizkid, Dijon, and Mk.gee. The disc also features an acoustic section and archival YouTube footage incorporated into the original production.
“Daisies” peaked at No.2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has been certified Platinum in the US by the RIAA. The track was written by Bieber with producers Dijon, Mk.gee, Eddie Benjamin, Carter Lang, Dylan Wiggins, and Daniel Chetrit, alongside Tobias Jesso Jr. In ranking all of the songs featured on SWAG, Billboard writer Lyndsey Havens placed “Daisies” at No.1. She wrote, “There’s an intimacy to this track, as if it places the listener directly in the garage — or whatever small, comforting and likely hazy space — it was recorded in. And for a superstar like Bieber, who is over 15 years and seven albums into his career, it’s no small feat to craft an alternative-pop track that sounds like it’s being made directly in the listener’s ear in real time.”
As for SWAG, the album has been certified Platinum in the United States, Canada, Denmark, and New Zealand. It has achieved Gold status in Portugal and the UK. Upon its release, the album peaked at No.2 on the Billboard 200. That number consisted of nearly 200 million on-demand streams, which marked his biggest week on the platforms to date.
