Franz Ferdinand, Pixies celebrate first entries into Spotify’s Billions Club

Franz Ferdinand and Pixies are both newly inducted members of Spotify’s Billions Club.

The playlist, which collects every song with at least 1 billion streams on the platform, now includes Franz’s “Take Me Out” and Pixies’ “Where Is My Mind?”, marking the first entry into the Billions Club for both bands.

“We’ve just heard that ‘Take Me Out’ has reached one billion streams on Spotify,” Franz writes in a Facebook post. “Thanks to all you crazy streamers.”

In their own post, Pixies write, “Thanks for listening, here’s to the next billion.”

“Take Me Out” appeared on Franz Ferdinand’s 2004 self-titled debut album and became their breakout single, earning quadruple-Platinum certification by the RIAA. “Where Is My Mind?”, meanwhile, first premiered in 1988. While it was never officially released as a single, it has become a signature Pixies song thanks in part to features in media including Fight Club.

Franz Ferdinand is releasing a new album, The Human Fear, on Friday. Pixies put out their latest record, The Night the Zombies Came, in October.
