BILLIONS CLUB: Sam Smith (5/389)



BILLIONS CLUB
Sam Smith (5/389)
141/389=  36%

     Sam Smith is a pure pop play, an Artist born and bred for the Spotify Billions Club as much as Ed Sheeran, Adele and Ed Sheeran.  Witness Unholy, his latest Billions Club member- it just made the list today, which is impressive because it was released in September of last year, meaning it took about 7 months from release to the Billions Club.  Unholy was a monster smash all over the globe but particularly in the UK and the US where it was a number one and a Grammy winner.  It marked the first in both categories for a transgender performer, Kim Petras, and also her only appearance in the Billions Club.

  Smith has shown an ability common to the more succesful repeat players on this list, which is that they can score Billions Club members via an album single OR from a one off collab OR from a track from movie/tv show etc, or even from songs that are in two of those three categories.  Smith has done it both ways and it isn't hard to imagine he could put out another hit tomorrow.  Can a Las Vegas residency be far away?   Smith is the 16th biggest act in the world according to Spotify.
