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.

Tune in and find out why these songs stick around and what it takes to join the Billions Club.
