Yuna surpasses one billion streams on Spotify!
Yuna, whose real name is Yunalis Mat Zara’ai, described the achievement as a “dream come true.” According to Harian Metro, the milestone reflects the collective total of streams across her entire discography.
“Alhamdulillah, I’m very grateful because I never actually set a goal to reach one billion streams. From the beginning of my career, I never thought about chasing that number. Back then, I was just making music casually with friends and for myself,” she said.
She added that the milestone feels more like a bonus in her career rather than something she set out to achieve.
“Honestly, I was shocked when I found out. My fans told me about it. When I heard it, I was like ‘really?’ and only then realised it had actually happened. For me, it’s not a target, but more of a bonus along the way.”
Malaysian fans break the news to her
Yuna shared that the achievement was not officially announced by her, but was only brought to her attention after fans began posting about it and sending congratulations online.
She also explained how she prefers not to put pressure on herself over future numbers, even though the milestone marks the start of a new phase in her music career. She also stressed that her focus remains on continuing to create music that connects with listeners.
“I’m very grateful that fans, especially from Malaysia, continue to support and listen to my songs,” she said.
