Aussie Artist's Hit Collab With David Guetta Cracks One Billion Streams

Australian singer VASSY is the latest artist to be inducted into APRA AMCOS' The 1,000,000,000 List thanks to her hit collab track with DJ heavyweights, David Guetta and Showtek.

2014 single Bad has officially cracked one billion streams after reaching #1 on the ARIA Dance chart, as well as placing at #11 on the year end chart, hitting #5 on the ARIA Singles chart.

Bad also went to #1 in Norway, Finland and South Korea and peaked at #11 on Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart. 

“It was so exciting to receive this award for being on the The 1,000,000,000 List," the Darwin-born-LA-based songwriter said.

"It's such an honour considering that my career first started with being acknowledged by APRA AMCOS in Australia before I left for the US.

"And, now being acknowledged once again for one of my biggest records that I wrote and performed, which went number one in many countries around the world, putting me on the map globally as an Australian artist, singer and songwriter."

APRA AMCOS CEO Dean Ormston added, "Her incredible songwriting talent has taken her to the top of the charts worldwide, and we couldn't be more proud of all that she has accomplished both at home in Australia and overseas".
