Good news for Nickelodeon fans! It seems like a classic "Victorious" song is making waves online and spreading the nostalgia vibes to OG supporters of the show as it amassed millions of streams that contributed to two of the actors' careers.

According to Pop Faction, the hit song "Take A Hint" by Victoria Justice and Elizabeth Gillies amassed a whopping 100 million streams on Spotify.

The song heavily contributed to the two singers' music careers as it is Justice's first song to achieve such a record, while it's Gillies's second.

The track appeared in the third season of the show in an episode titled "Tori & Jade's Play Date." It was written by Kevin Kadash and was originally performed by Meghan Kabir.

It all began in the episode when Erwin Sikowitz, the teacher portrayed by Eric Lange, became upset because of the current status of Tori Vega (Justice) and Jade West's (Gillies) friendship.

Since both their characters were not fond of each other, the teacher forced them to hang out at a karaoke club called Nozu and if they don't, the consequence would be failing his class.

The two girls didn't have a choice but to hang out. Upon arriving at the venue, two boys started annoying them and they teamed up together to sing "Take A Hint" as a sign to reject the guys.

This is the only duet song that Jade and Tori have over the four seasons of the hit Nickelodeon series.

Was 'Victorious' Canceled Because of Ariana Grande and Victoria Justice's Feud?

It has been long rumored that the show was canceled after four seasons because of the rumored rift between main actors Justice and Ariana Grande.

Aside from the two stars, other actors in the cast include Gillies, Matt Bennett, Avan Jogia, Daniella Monet, and Leon Thomas.

According to J-14 "Victorious" aired its first episode in 2010 and it became a massive hit to Nickelodeon fans which led the show to air for three more years. The finale premiered on February 2, 2013, after 57 episodes.

Following this, the show had a spin-off series titled "Sam & Cat" which merged the original show with Jennette McCurdy of iCarly.

The alleged feud began when the "Knew Better/Forever Boy" hitmaker set the record straight through her ask.fm account, saying the show ended because one girl "didn't want to do it, she chose to do a solo tour instead of a cast tour."

Although Grande didn't name the "girl" in her post, Seventeen Magazine noted that Justice indeed went on a summer tour in 2013.

Years later, it appears that the two have buried the hatchet as the lead actress showed her support to the pop star's headlining set at the 2019 Coachella even though she left a day early. (via Pop Crave)
