Here is this week's Luminate Data Market Watch report which features Canadian music stats for the current week and YTD with comparisons to last year. This chart is published every Tuesday. The abbreviation "TEA" is a term used to describe the sale of music downloads or singles. A track equivalent album is equal to 10 tracks, or 10 songs.
The Ontario group is the second Canadian band to achieve this honour.
Three Days Grace are making history with their debut hit.
The Canadian rock band’s 2003 single “I Hate Everything About You” has surpassed one billion streams on Spotify. The song, which explores the tension of a love-hate relationship, originally appeared on the band’s self-titled debut album.
Since its release, the track has been embedded in rock music history and shines as one of the band’s signature songs. Produced by Gavin “Golden” Brown, the track earned him Producer of the Year at the 2004 Juno Awards.
The song peaked at No. 2 on the U.S. Modern Rock chart and No. 4 on the Mainstream Rock chart. While it never reached No. 1, it holds the record as the band’s longest-running song on both charts, staying on for 45 and 46 weeks, respectively.
“As crazy as it is to think that this band of ours formed as teens from a small town in Canada would have a song that has a billion streams, the craziest thing is how many people’s wedding songs it is,” Three Days Grace shared in a statement.
With over two decades of music under their belt, the group has balanced moments of extreme emotion with pummeling hard rock anthems and pensive ballads — and they’ve been a mainstay on the rock charts since their initial 2003 rise.
In January, the multi-platinum band’s comeback single “Mayday” hit No.1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart in both the U.S. and Canada.
Featuring original frontman Adam Gontier and current lead Matt Walst, the dual-vocal track marked the band’s 18th No. 1 and remains on the chart, currently sitting at No. 13 in Canada.
Three Days Grace is now the second Canadian band to join Spotify’s Billions Club after MAGIC! with their 2014 hit “Rude.”
They join fellow Canadians Justin Bieber, Drake, Tate McRae, Alessia Cara and Shawn Mendes in crossing the milestone.
