4 Non Blondes Join Spotify’s Billionaires Club

Who’d have thought it?! A little alt-rock anthem from the ‘90s has hit the big leagues. “What’s Up?” by 4 Non Blondes just crossed 1 billion streams on Spotify, officially snagging a spot in the platform’s exclusive Billions Club. That’s right—Linda Perry and the gang have joined the streaming heavyweights, proving once again that some songs just never go out of style.

Linda Perry, the iconic voice behind the hit, summed up the song’s timeless appeal perfectly:

“We live in a world where ‘what the f*** is going on?’ is a constant concern and a frequent question we all find ourselves asking… ‘What’s Up?’ has been an anthem for people all over the world, and I am so deeply grateful it found its way through me.”

It’s hard to argue with her. Whether you first belted it out in your Doc Martens back in ’93 or discovered it via a random Spotify shuffle last week, “What’s Up?” has that rare ability to capture the chaos of life in four cathartic minutes.

Released as part of the band’s one-and-only studio album, Bigger, Better, Faster, More!, the song originally cracked the Top 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 and snagged a VMA nomination for “Best Alternative Rock Video.” Oh, and the music video? It’s racked up a casual 1.8 billion views on YouTube, which you can watch above! Not bad for a track that started its life before the Internet even existed.

As for Perry, she’s not slowing down. In addition to cranking out hits for legends like Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, and Céline Dion, she’s been collaborating with actual Beatles. (Yes, that’s her name on Ringo Starr’s Crooked Boy EP.) Plus, her documentary Linda Perry: Let It Die Here recently made waves at the Tribeca Film Festival.

So, whether you’re screaming “WHAT’S GOING ON?” at the top of your lungs in your car or quietly reflecting on its relevance decades later, one thing’s clear: 4 Non Blondes aren’t just a ‘90s relic—they’re eternal.
