Gorillaz’s iconic tune “Clint Eastwood” has reached a new milestone on YouTube.
The video for the band’s 2001 debut single, off their self-titled debut album, has reached 1 billion views on the site, becoming their second clip to join YouTube’s Billion Views Club.
The first video to reach 1 billion views was “Feel Good Inc.,” off their 2005 sophomore album, Demon Days.
Gorillaz, the virtual band created by Blur’s Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett, recently released “The Hardest Thing/Orange County” off their upcoming album, The Mountain. “The Hardest Thing” features late drummer Tony Allen, and “Orange County” features poet and U.S. National Youth Poet Laureate Kara Jackson, Argentine producer Bizarrap and sitar player Anoushka Shankar.
The Mountain is due out Feb. 27. They’ll be playing the album in full during two shows in Los Angeles taking place Feb. 22 and 23.
