As always, Boone’s vocal control and emotional honesty were at the center of the moment. His ability to express grief, love, and hope in just a few notes is what fans have come to love about him and why “In the Stars” continues to resonate.
A Song That Keeps Reaching New Heights
Originally inspired by the passing of his great-grandmother at age 97, “In the Stars” has become one of Boone’s most beloved songs. First released in 2022, it stood quietly among his growing discography—until it didn’t. Before “Beautiful Things” made its way up the charts, “In the Stars” was already on its way to something extraordinary.
This year, Benson celebrated a massive milestone: the song has officially reached 1 billion streams on Spotify.
“Today In the Stars hit 1 billion streams. I am absolutely speechless,” Boone shared in an emotional Instagram post. “It’s never easy to lose someone, but it is such a privilege to have things that can remind you of the best parts of them.”
Alongside the announcement, Boone included a photo of his late great-grandmother and spoke directly to fans about the healing power of music. “Whether that is this song, a voicemail, or even a restaurant, everyone has their thing… I hope I can continue to make you feel understood. Love you guys, thank you for everything. God bless.”
