Slipknot have scored their first entry into Spotify's 1 billion streams club, as the masked metal band's 2004 hit "Duality" has reached the notable milestone. As Lambgoat reports, the next two Slipknot songs in line to hit the 1 billion mark are "Psychosocial" (765 million streams) and "Before I Forget" (667 million streams). "Duality" appeared on 2004's Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), which landed at No. 2 on Heavy Consequence's ranking of Slipknot's studio albums.
