Avicii’s posthumous compilation album Avicii Forever has officially entered Spotify’s all-time top five most-streamed albums, surpassing 14 billion total streams. Released on May 16 via Interscope Records, the project now ranks among some of the most consumed music in the world, according to data from Kworb.
The top five includes:
- Un Verano Sin Ti – Bad Bunny (19.57B streams)
- Starboy – The Weeknd (16.86B)
- ÷ (Divide) – Ed Sheeran (16.43B)
- SOUR – Olivia Rodrigo (14.91B)
- Avicii Forever – Avicii (14B+)
This places Avicii in the same echelon as some of the most influential pop and Latin music stars of the last decade.
A Legacy That Keeps Resonating
Avicii Forever is a collection of previously released fan favorites, alongside one final, unreleased track titled “Let’s Ride Away,” a collaboration with Elle King. While most of the songs had already been streamed individually millions of times before, the album’s streaming milestone reflects the continued emotional connection fans feel to the late artist’s work.
It’s not just about numbers, it’s about timeless songwriting and sound. Avicii’s impact on the electronic and pop music world has remained strong since his tragic passing in 2018 at age 28.
More Than Nostalgia
What makes this achievement particularly remarkable is that Avicii Forever isn’t driven by fresh content, but rather by the strength of a catalog that continues to move listeners emotionally and energetically. Streaming platforms may measure success in data, but for Avicii fans, every play is a tribute to a sound that shaped a generation.
The enduring presence of Avicii Forever on Spotify’s most played albums list shows how deeply the producer’s music continues to resonate across age groups and borders. It’s a celebration of the past and a reminder that some artists never truly fade.
