Just days into 2026, 50 Cent has added another major accolade to his long list of career achievements. His signature track “In Da Club” has officially surpassed 2 billion streams on Spotify, making it one of the most streamed hip hop songs in the platform’s history.
Originally, “In Da Club” dropped in 2003 as the lead single from “Get Rich or Die Tryin’”. Until this day, the track continues to draw millions of listeners every month. In fact, it’s not uncommon for it to rake in over 1 million streams daily, more than two decades after its release. It clocked in 1,038,287 plays yesterday, January 2.
A Breakthrough Hit
In Da Club was the very first song Fifty recorded with Dr. Dre. Originally, Dre planned to offer this beat to D12 and even Rakim. However, it was Fifty who recognised its potential and transformed it into a global anthem. With Dre and Mike Elizondo behind the boards, the result was explosive.
Fifty later explained how the chorus came from a throwaway line by G-Unit’s Lloyd Banks: “Find me in the club, bottle full of bub”. He turned it into one of the most memorable hooks in rap history.
Chart Domination and Awards
Upon its release, “In Da Club” quickly climbed the Billboard Hot 100, staying at No.1 for nine weeks. It became the most played song on US radio at the time, and Billboard later named it the No.1 song of 2003.
The track earned multiple Grammy nominations, won several MTV Video Music Awards, and has gone Diamond in the US with over 10 million units sold. It’s also certified 4× Platinum in the UK and 10× Platinum in Australia.
A Timeless Party Anthem
Part birthday song, part street anthem, “In Da Club” remains a staple at parties, gyms, and hip hop sets around the world. Few songs from its era have had this kind of staying power.
Streaming numbers don’t lie – “In Da Club” is more than just a classic. In fact, it’s a celebration that never ends.
