Kanye West has been achieving one milestone after another. It has just been a few weeks since the ‘Donda’ singer made his return to work and the music world, but his fans kept him trending. As they wait for him to drop another album, his older ones helped soothe their need for delightful music through apps. The double Diamonds Certification holder has achieved yet another milestone now.

While apps like Spotify criticized West for controversies, each of his albums recently reached the milestone of one billion hits on the platform. Apart from his edgy music and unique productions, he is known for collaborating with multiple artists. One such big collaboration has been added to the list of Ye’s one billion hits.

Rihanna’s 2015 collaboration with Kanye West and Paul McCartney has resurfaced

When different types of musicians come together, it almost creates a symphony. In 2015, Ye released the track ‘FourFiveSeconds’ with Rihanna and Paul McCartney. The hit track is the latest one on the list to complete one billion streams on Spotify’s music app. Now it is unlikely that such a trio will be seen again after years, but when it was released, the track was boosted up to number four on the Billboard charts.

The song also came with a black and white video starring the three, directed by Inez and Vinoodh. McCartney could be seen strumming on his guitar as the other two took turns singing in the typical American attire of casual jeans. It was again performed by the three at the 57th annual Grammy Awards. For accolades, the song earned the award for Collaboration of The Year at the American Music Awards that year.

As Kanye West now works on new fashion and music projects, a list of his old work is earning recognition in a new light.

A look into West’s recent achievement

Ye not only had each of his albums reach a one billion milestone on Spotify, but he also won a second Diamond Certification. This was for the song ‘N*ggas in Paris’ with Jay-Z. The rapper consistently remains one of the top artists garnering music lovers on music apps.

Since his return, Kanye West has released one song in collaboration with Fivio Foreign, named ‘Concussion’. It will be seen whether his future music manages to maintain his reputation in the world of music.
