“Chop Suey!” isn’t just the most popular System of a Down song – it’s one of the most popular songs in heavy metal history. So it was only a matter of time until the track cracked 1 billion streams on Spotify.
As of recently, the 2001 System of a Down track has surpassed the 1 billion stream mark. At the time of this writing, “Chop Suey!” has been streamed 1,000,748,139 times.
Released back in 2001 – as part of the band’s second studio album Toxicity – “Chop Suey!” has become System of a Down’s most fan-beloved song.
What is additionally exciting about this news is that System of a Down makes for one of the very few metal bands that have had a song crack the 1 billion streams mark. A study from 2022 noted that Linkin Park has two songs that have surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify; those Linkin Park songs are “In The End” and “Numb.”
Additionally, the Metallica song “Enter Sandman” has also been streamed more than 1 billion times on Spotify.
So with that said, it is awesome to see another metal band achieve such an incredible accomplishment. A major congrats to System of a Down.

“Coming off the band’s debut LP, the band took a tremendous leap forward in terms of their lyric and songwriting quality when it comes to this System of a Down album. Building upon their talent for crafting aggressively forward compositions, System of a Down further expands upon their technical range, providing much more of a roller coaster experience.”
