Tate McRae's "Greedy" has hit a new milestone. The Alberta singer's smash single surpassed a billion plays on Spotify, making it McRae's second song to do so, following her 2020 hit "You Broke Me First."

"Broke Me" might have broken that personal record first, but "Greedy" is McRae's biggest single to date, hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 and the Global 200. The song was also her first American top ten hit, where it reached No. 3 on the Hot 100.


McRae celebrated her "Greedy" achievement with a cake and an Instagram post. "Feeling so blessed and so grateful," the popstar shared.

"Greedy" joins a host of other Canadian hits on Spotify's Billions Club playlist, including Drake’s "One Dance," The Weeknd’s "Blinding Lights," and 15 Justin Bieber tracks. Nelly Furtado, an inspiration for McRae's Think Later sound, is also part of the club with "Promiscuous."

The milestone caps off a big month for McRae, who won artist of the year and single of the year, for "Greedy," at the 2024 Juno Awards, though she didn't attend. McRae had been nominated for nine awards in previous years, but this year marks her first Juno wins, following a breakthrough year in 2023 and the chart success of her sophomore album Think Later.

McRae heads out on her Think Later World Tour this month. She'll come to Canada this summer, for a homecoming performance at Calgary's Cowboys Music Festival on July 5, followed by a Toronto date at Budweiser Stage on July 27.

How Director Megan Park Built Canadian Music Into the DNA of Prime Video Sensation ‘Sterling Point’

The Muskoka-set TV show features shoutouts to Sarah McLachlan and Jann Arden, plus needle drops from rising stars like Lennon Stella and Mikayla Geier alongside hit Gen-Z artists Olivia Rodrigo and Gracie Abrams.

Sterling Point has all the ingredients of a popular teen drama: young love, self-discovery, heartfelt friendship, secrets and complicated family dynamics. Most importantly, the much-talked-about Prime Video series has a captivating soundtrack — one influenced by its Muskoka, Ontario setting.

Exactly two weeks ago, the show started streaming, quickly becoming one of Prime Video’s most-watched shows, with the Muskoka setting playing a major factor. Though it’s an American production, Sterling Point fits in with shows like Heated Rivalry and movies like Mile End Kicks as part of a recent wave of Canadian screen hits.
