Guns N’ Roses’ “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” Enters Spotify’s Billions Club

Guns N’ Roses have reached another major streaming milestone as “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” surpasses 1 billion streams on Spotify, becoming the band’s fifth track to enter the platform’s prestigious Billions Club. The song now stands alongside classics like “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” “Welcome To The Jungle,” “Paradise City,” and “November Rain.”

Originally written by Bob Dylan for the 1973 film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, the track took on a new life through Guns N’ Roses’ powerful reinterpretation. Before landing on the legendary 1991 album Use Your Illusion II, the band had already introduced the song in multiple formats — including a live B-side release in 1987 and a studio version featured on the Days of Thunder soundtrack in 1990.

Decades later, the song continues to resonate globally, adding yet another streaming achievement to the band’s already historic catalog.
