blink-182‘s “I Miss You” Surpasses 1 Billion Streams on Spotify
blink-182’s emotionally resonant hit, “I Miss You,” has officially joined Spotify’s Billions Club, exceeding one billion streams on the platform. The track, originally released in 2003 on the band’s self-titled album, remains a fan favorite and a staple of their live performances.
The song’s achievement underscores its enduring popularity and continued relevance two decades after its release. While initially hesitant to perform the track live, as Tom DeLonge revealed in a 2003 MTV interview, “I Miss You” has become an integral part of blink-182’s setlist, including their recently concluded 2023 Missionary Unfeasible Tour. DeLonge described the song as exploring “the vulnerability and kind of heart-wrenching pain you feel when you’re in love,” with lyrics that resonate with listeners through unconventional imagery.
blink-182 – comprised of Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker - wrapped the Missionary Impossible Tour in October, with Alkaline Trio as their supporting act, playing dates across the US including Hollywood, Tampa, and Saratoga Springs.
