One Direction Croke Park 2014 third dateOne Direction have become the fourteenth music act  to reach the milestone of one billion plays on music streaming site Spotify, joining the like of Katy Perry, Beyonce and Rhianna in this elite billion club.

There’s no accounting for taste though with the likes of Pitbull, Imagine Dragons and David Guetta also making the list. Probably most surprising of all however, is the fact that Eminem is the most streamed artist in Spotify history.
