Drake’s ‘One Dance’ Becomes All-Time #1 On Spotify
If there was any doubt as to just how big Drake‘s ‘Views’ era has been, it’s been dispelled once again.
Beyond its 1.5 Million pure sales in the US, the LP has been a streaming sensation worldwide; thanks largely to its buffet table of hits.
‘One Dance’ is one of the most notable and, accordingly, has hit a major milestone on Spotify.
With a whopping 875 Million plays, the club jam has become the most listened to song on the streaming service…ever.
Congrats to Drizzy!

The link doesn’t work but apparently she shot 2 music videos? Is that what you are referring to?
yes and someone from the crew posted something from one of them on Snapchat… too bad the link got taken down
and yay for Amber! I’m glad she’s still around, the real talent from Glee
Why not instead make each post an individual story? Is this to not have weak posts people don’t care much about having low comments and clicks?

maybe to give stories that will normally get less attention and traffic a fighting chance to be seen and talked about. and some things are not breaking news, but should have something reported on them
