Rick Astley ‘s 1987 hit song “Never Gonna Give You Up” has passed 1 billion streams on Spotify — 38 years after the song debuted.

The feat is even more noteworthy given that the song was released more than 20 years before Spotify launched.

“I never could have imagined back in 1987 that ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ would still be going strong decades later,” Astley said in a statement. “Thanks to streaming platforms, a whole new generation has been able to discover music like mine. Reaching 1 billion streams is something I never dreamed of and to everyone who’s ever listened, thank you.”
