() Legendary rock band Foreigner has officially entered the Top Ten of Spotify's esteemed Billions Club, achieving an unprecedented milestone with their 1999 remastered version of the timeless classic, "I Want To Know What Love Is."
Entering the Billions Club is no easy feat for heritage acts; Pink Floyd, The Who, and Bob Dylan have yet to become members. Foreigner has not only entered the list, but currently stands as the only heritage act in Top Ten placement. Heritage rock artists have a very small minority of the 800 or so songs that make up the play list linked here.
This remarkable achievement comes at a pivotal moment for Foreigner as the band prepares to celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2026, following their recent induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The distinction of joining Spotify's Billions Club solidifies Foreigner's enduring influence and popularity of their music with generations of fans worldwide.
"We are truly honored to be included in Spotify's Billions Club," said the song's writer and Foreigner founder Mick Jones last month. "This achievement is a testament to the lasting power of 'I Want To Know What Love Is' and the incredible support from our fans around the world. As we look ahead to our 50th anniversary, this is a reminder of how much our music has meant to so many people over the years."
"I Want To Know What Love Is," originally released in 1984, became a defining anthem of the '80s rock era, climbing to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning multiple platinum certifications. The 1999 remastered version has resonated with both long-time fans and new listeners.
As the band looks forward to its milestone anniversary and upcoming touring plans, Foreigner is also preparing to release new material in celebration of its 50 years of musical history. Their legacy continues to inspire, and the Billions Club honor adds another chapter to their storied career.
Responsible for some of rock and roll's most enduring anthems including "Juke Box Hero," "Cold As Ice," "Hot Blooded," "Waiting For A Girl Like You," "Feels Like The First Time," "Urgent," "Head Games," "Say You Will," and the worldwide #1 hit, "I Want To Know What Love Is," Foreigner still rocks the charts almost 50 years into the game with massive airplay and continued Billboard "Top 200" album success. Streams of Foreigner's hits are over 15 million per week.
