- February 5, 2026
AceShowbiz - This week, The Weeknd and KISS celebrated significant milestones as both artists saw their music videos enter YouTube's prestigious Billion Views Club. The Weeknd hit this remarkable figure with his hit "Blinding Lights," released in 2019, while KISS's classic "I Was Made for Lovin' You," filmed in 1979, achieved this honor after being uploaded to the platform just a few years ago.
For The Weeknd, this achievement marks his seventh entry into the coveted club. "Blinding Lights," a chart-topping track from his album After Hours, dominated the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks. The accompanying video showcases the artist’s unique persona during that period, featuring him wandering the streets of Las Vegas in a striking red blazer and shades, both on foot and behind the wheel.
Prior to this, The Weeknd had six other videos surpass a billion views, including popular tracks like "Starboy," featuring Daft Punk, "Save Your Tears," and "The Hills." Each of these visuals has contributed to his growing legacy as a dominant force in contemporary music.
On the other hand, the addition of "I Was Made for Lovin' You" to the Billion Views Club is a historic moment for KISS, marking their first entry. The video, which captures the band in their iconic black-and-white costumes, showcases a lively performance of one of their most beloved songs under dazzling stage lights. Despite being released decades ago, the song continues to resonate with fans worldwide.
Before its viral success on YouTube, "I Was Made for Lovin' You" enjoyed commercial success, peaking at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and helping the album Dynasty reach No. 9 on the Billboard 200.
