Black Sabbath’s ‘Paranoid’ Enters Spotify’s Billions Club


"Paranoid” joins Spotify’s Billions Club – an elite collection of works that have accumulated more than one billion streams.

Recognized as a classic of the heavy metal genre, “Paranoid” is the title track from the band’s 1970 LP, peaking at No. Though it continues to rock hard on Spotify and other streaming platforms, “Paranoid” was written in the studio “in five minutes,” Black Sabbath bass player Geezer Butler told Guitar World in 2004. When someone connects with a great song for the first time they don’t care if it’s fifty years or five days old, and ‘Paranoid’ sounds as fresh and vital as ever, ensuring a bright future for the U.K.’s darkest band.”
