Vassy said it was a privilege to be acknowledged for one of her biggest records.

“It was so exciting to receive this award for being on the one billion list, it’s such an honour,” she said.

Proven to be a global hit, Bad now sits at two billion streams and is a seven time double platinum hit in 10 countries.

Released earlier this year, the highly decorated artist teamed up with fellow Aussie duo ‘Bonka’ for their latest dance-pop track Chase. “It felt really good to make this with my fellow Australians, I am so excited to release this in Australia, as well as the US,” Vassy said.
