1979 KISS classic joins Spotify Billions Club

KISS’ 1979 classic, “I Was Made For Loving You”, has joined Spotify’s Billions Club.

The single has passed a milestone on the streaming service.

“Thank you #KISSARMY!,” shared the band. “You streamed ‘I Was Made For Lovin' You’ over 1 billion times on Spotify!”

The lead single from “Dynasty” topped the charts in a few countries while peaking at No. 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Upon its release, the 1979 album caused controversy among fans of KISS’ original rock era due to the disco-inspired single and other portions of the project; the New York group suffered through a years-long struggle to return to the charts, with its next three releases – “Unmasked”, “Music From The Elder” and “Creatures Of The Night” – only reaching US Gold status before the band removed its makeup for the 1983 album, “Lick It Up.”

KISS wrapped up a 50-year career when it performed its final concert at New York’s Madison Square Garden on December 2, 2023.
