Nearly 25 years removed from its September 2001 release, System Of A Down‘s 6x multi-platinum sophomore album “Toxicity” continues to resonate with fans. The Armenian-American nü-metal stars have just added yet another billion-based accolade to their collection of milestones, with the official upload of the music video for that aforementioned album’s title track having newly entered the 1 billion views club on YouTube.
An impressive feat on its own, that same song also racked up 1 billion plays on Spotify as of last September. As popular as that track is, it still trails behind the lead single from the aforementioned record, “Chop Suey!“. That song entered into the 1 billion plays club on YouTube back in 2020, with it racking up as many listens on Spotify back in April of 2023.
The single “Toxicity” was last certified 3x platinum by the RIAA back in July of 2022. “Chop Suey!” was certified 5x platinum that same month. As it stands now, any further entries in System Of A Down‘s catalog remain sidelined by their lengthy creative/financial dispute behind the scenes.
However, 2025 has offered a bit of hope for SOAD diehards, with the group having announced their most ambitious touring schedule since 2017. According to bassist Shavo Odadjian, that beefed up schedule is a case of the group “testing the waters” for potentially touring more extensively further touring down the line.
