Bon Jovi, the iconic rock band that dominated the music scene for over a decade, continues to make waves with their timeless hits. Recently, the band achieved a significant milestone as their hit song 'Always' surpassed one billion views on YouTube.
'Always,' released in 1994 as the lead single from the album Cross Road, quickly climbed the charts, peaking at No. 4 on the Hot 100. This achievement marked one of Bon Jovi's 10 top 10 hits on the Billboard chart, solidifying their status as rock legends.
This isn't the first time Bon Jovi has reached such a milestone on YouTube. Previously, two other songs by the band, 'It's My Life' and 'Livin' on a Prayer,' also crossed the one billion views mark on the platform. 'It's My Life,' released in 2000, marked a successful comeback for the band, while 'Livin' on a Prayer' remains a fan favorite even decades after its release.
While hitting one billion views on YouTube is a remarkable achievement, it's worth noting that the platform's most-viewed music video, 'Baby Shark' by Pinkfong, boasts over 14 billion views. Similarly, Luis Fonsi's 'Despacito' follows closely behind with nearly 8.5 billion views. The majority of entries in the billion-view club consist of modern hits or children's songs that have captured the hearts of millions.
As Bon Jovi celebrates the continued success of 'Always' and their other chart-topping hits, it's evident that their music continues to resonate with audiences worldwide. Despite evolving music trends, the band's legacy remains strong, with their classic tunes standing the test of time.
