Journey Surpass Major Milestone With 'Don't Stop Believin'

Michael Angulia | 03-18-2024

Journey have one more reason to celebrate as they prepare to hit the road this summer for their coheadlining Stadium Tour with Def Leppard. The group's 1981 mega-hit "Don't Stop Believin'" has reached another major milestone, tying it for the biggest song in American music history.

The song was recently certified 18-times platinum by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association Of America), according to Forbes. Platinum status is reached for every 1-million units of sales of streaming equivalent.

The only other song to reach that platinum level is Post Malone and Swae Lee's "Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse)", which was certified 18 times platinum last May.

"Don't Stop Believin'" is one of the enduring hits from Journey's blockbuster 1981 album "Escape". The honor comes as the band prepares to launch a stadium tour with Def Leppard this summer that will feature varied support from Cheap Trick, the Steve Miller Band and Heart. See the dates below:
