Just two years after singer-songwriter Dasha released her breakthrough hit “Austin (Boots Stop Workin’),” the dance-fueled song has surpassed one billion streams on Spotify, joining the streaming service’s Billions Club.

In reaching the milestone, Dasha becomes just the second solo female country artist to ever reach the milestone, after global superstar Taylor Swift.

“I still can’t wrap my head around this. ‘Austin’ changed my life, and now just two years after I put it out on my own … it’s officially hit a billion streams on Spotify,” Dasha said in a statement. She added that joining Swift, a woman she says “inspired me from day one,” as the only female solo country star to reach the milestone was “completely surreal.”

“All I’ve ever wanted is to make music that helps people feel like the strongest, most badass version of themselves,” she concluded. “‘Austin’ was written in pure rage, but it somehow turned into this beautiful source of community and empowerment. I’m the luckiest girl in the world. I have the best team, the best family and friends, and now a billion streams on my first breakout song … that’s the juiciest cherry on top.”

This is the latest career milestone Dasha has reached this year, after earning an ACM Awards nomination for best new female artist, and performing on the Mane Stage during the Stagecoach Festival. Over the past two years, she’s headlined her world tour Dashville USA, and performed on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

“Austin (Boots Stop Workin’)” rose to the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, and into the top 10 on the Country Airplay chart. She’s followed with songs including “Not at This Party.” In October, she also released her EP Anna, which included the tender track “Train.”
