Life may be a waterfall, but for System of a Down, life is billions of streams.

The band's song "Aerials" is their latest to pass the 1 billion stream mark on Spotify. It marks the fourth SOAD track to join the Spotify Billions Club, following "Toxicity," "Chop Suey!" and "Lonely Day."

"Aerials," "Chop Suey!" and "Toxicity" are all songs off System of a Down's 2001 album, Toxicity, which incidentally celebrates its 25th anniversary in September. "Lonely Day" appears on System's 2005 album, Hypnotize.

Hypnotize remains the most recent System of a Down album, though the band released two new songs in 2020.
