In a powerful reminder of Avicii‘s enduring legacy, “Levels” has surpassed the one-billion stream mark on Spotify.
It’s more than just a number—it’s a billion moments of joy and a billion memories made on dancefloors and at festivals worldwide. Even years after the legendary DJ’s tragic death, “Levels” continues to resonate, proving that great dance music truly is timeless.
In an era of fleeting, cookie-cutter viral dance hits, “Levels” is proving its staying power as a generational anthem. Released back on October 28th, 2011, it’s Avicii’s sixth song to reach the milestone after “Hey Brother,” “Wake Me Up,” “The Nights,” “Waiting For Love” and “Without You.”

For fans of Avicii, hearing “Levels” is a near-spiritual experience. The breakthrough single was a tour de force for the late electronic dance music legend, launching the career of a prevailing icon before it was cut short in 2018, when he tragically died by suicide.
“Levels” remains one of the most popular EDM songs in the world. Prior to this year’s Tomorrowland, it had been named the best anthem in the festival’s history after claiming the most fan votes in the “Tomorrowland Top 1000” poll. The event’s 25th anniversary in Belgium then morphed into an emotional requiem for Avicii, whose timeless track found new life at the hands of Hardwell, Afrojack and many more.
