“The biggest KISS song of all time is… ‘I Was Made for Lovin’ You’ with 1.3 BILLION total streams on Spotify as of late August and approximately 850 THOUSAND daily streams!!” Stanley said. “Amazing and THANK YOU!”
This revelation highlights the song’s enduring popularity, as it continues to resonate with audiences across generations. The fact that it maintains such impressive daily streaming numbers speaks to its widespread appeal and growing fanbase.
The milestone represents more than just impressive statistics; it marks a significant achievement in KISS’s long and storied career.

However, over time, “I Was Made for Lovin’ You” has become one of KISS’s most beloved tracks, loved by both old fans and new listeners alike.
Today, the song’s streaming success on platforms like Spotify is a reminder of KISS’s lasting impact on the music industry, transcending genres and appealing to a global audience. It also highlights how the band’s music continues to find new life in the digital age.
With the “Billions Club” honor, “I Was Made for Lovin’ You” joins the ranks of other iconic songs that have achieved the billion-stream milestone, solidifying its place in rock history. KISS, known for their theatrical performances and unforgettable music, has once again proven their staying power in the streaming era.
For Paul Stanley and KISS, this achievement is not just about numbers—it’s about legacy. “I Was Made for Lovin’ You” is now more than just a hit song; it’s a piece of rock history that continues to captivate listeners around the world.
