In a monumental achievement for both artists, “Stargirl Interlude” by The Weeknd and Lana Del Rey has surpassed one billion streams on Spotify, marking the first interlude in the platform’s history to achieve this milestone.

For Lana, this marks her third song to reach the billion-stream mark, while The Weeknd adds another achievement to his impressive tally, making it his twelfth song to achieve this feat.

The significance of this accomplishment extends beyond individual success, as it also highlights a successful week for women in music.

Alongside “Stargirl Interlude,” Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red” also reached the one billion streams mark, showcasing the continued influence and talent of female artists in the industry.

“Stargirl Interlude” joins the ranks of other non-singles by female artists, such as Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and Olivia Rodrigo, in achieving this remarkable milestone.

Originally released as part of The Weeknd’s Starboy album in 2016, “Stargirl Interlude” features Lana’s ethereal vocals and contributes to the album’s diverse guest appearances, including collaborations with Daft Punk, Future, and Kendrick Lamar.

A new collab on the horizon?

The excitement surrounding the interlude doesn’t stop with its streaming success.

Earlier this week, producer Doc McKinney teased fans with a potential new project from the duo, sharing a photo on Instagram of a computer folder titled “lana doc and abel demo 1.”

This sparked speculation among fans about whether they can expect a demo of the beloved interlude or perhaps even a new collaboration.

Lana has more in store for fans this year, with the announcement of her upcoming country album, “Lasso,” set to release in September.

Produced in collaboration with Jack Antonoff, this will mark Lana’s tenth studio album and her first venture into the country music genre.

As fans eagerly anticipate more music from this dynamic duo, they can continue to support their favorite artists by streaming “Stargirl Interlude,” celebrating the historic achievement of this timeless collaboration.
