Zedd records 1 billion plays on Spotify with his hit ‘The Middle’

Anton Zaslavski, known under the stage name as Zedd, has struck the 1 billion plays mark for the first time on Spotify with ‘The Middle’.

“Today marks an unbelievable milestone for me,” he wrote on Twitter and Instagram celebrating the landmark.

“Huge shoutout to @sarah_aarons & my brothers from @themonsters_strangerz for writing this with us and having the trust and unbelievable patience considering it ended up taking longer than the birth of a child,” continued Zedd.

Patience is a virtue, and it looks like it has paid off for the German-Russian DJ.

Today marks an unbelievable milestone for me.
