If you need proof that Justin Timberlake gave us his biggest hit to date with “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” we’ve got you covered. This catchy tune just became his first song to ever reach the one billion mark on YouTube.

This single from the Trolls soundtrack came out in 2016 and was a huge success story from the get-go. It debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100, and topped the charts in several countries including Canada, France, and Germany.

In addition to being the best-selling song of the year in the US, “Can’t Stop the Feeling” also led Timberlake to his first Oscar nomination for the best original song. He eventually lost to “City of Stars” from La La Land, but managed to pick up a Grammy for the best song written for visual media.

Justin Timberlake isn’t the only artist who recently joined the Billion Views Club. Imagine Dragons also hit this coveted number with “Believer”, their third song to reach the mark.
