A Billion Plays Later

Welcome to a Billion Plays Later! A podcast where Fern and Allie talk about songs that have a billion streams on Spotify!

What makes a song an instant classic? Is it pure pop magic, is it timing, or the power of a TikTok trend? Join music enthusiasts Allie and Fern as they dive deep into one mega-hit per episode. They'll break down the history, the cultural impact, the production secrets, and the occasional drama behind these chart-topping titans. We will also listen to some fan covers and parodies along the way.

From 80s throwbacks that found a second life to modern pop anthems and hip-hop heavyweights, we will explore the soundtrack of the streaming era. If you love music analysis, chart trivia, and behind-the-scenes stories of the world’s biggest hits, you're in the right place.
