#SHOWBIZ: Henry Moodie celebrates 500 million Spotify streams for 'Drunk Text'
KUALA LUMPUR: Rising British pop singer-songwriter Henry Moodie is celebrating a massive achievement as his hit single 'Drunk Text' has now amassed half a billion streams on Spotify.
Moodie described this incredible milestone as a "surreal and unexpected blessing."
In a news report yesterday, the 21-year-old artist admitted he still finds it hard to believe the track has achieved such global success.
"Half a billion streams? It's crazy! I'm incredibly grateful for the support from so many people. I still can't believe it's reached this point. I don't know if something like this will ever happen again in my life, but I'm truly thankful," Moodie said.
Moodie also credited TikTok as the key platform that helped propel the single into the spotlight.
"TikTok changed my life. It really is the most powerful app right now. The song was a slow burner at first, with just 100,000 streams.
"But once people started using the audio on TikTok, it jumped to a million, and then kept climbing. The algorithm really boosted the streaming numbers," he said.
Moodie was in Kuala Lumpur to perform at his Henry Moodie 2025 Kuala Lumpur concert at Zepp Kuala Lumpur last night.
Fellow British singer Bradley Simpson was the opening act.
