In other Major Lazer news, the group has been making waves in the music industry beginning in 2015, when they went from a lesser known act for a niche audience to a bonafide global pop outfit. Last year, their smash single “Lean On” ended up being the most streamed song on Spotify and ended up joining the one billion play club on YouTube. The group made headlines back in January for scoring a slot as one of the first major American acts to perform in Cuba since the United States normalized diplomatic relations.
