Slipknot<\/a>\u2019s Duality<\/a> has been streamed on Spotify<\/a> one-billion times.<\/p>\n

Iowa\u2019s nine-man wrecking crew crossed the threshold with their 2004 single, taken from third album Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses, earlier this week. It\u2019s their first song to reach the 10-digit mark, with their next-most popular track being 2008\u2019s Psychosocial with 765 million streams.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Slipknot released Duality as a single on May 4, 2004, three weeks before Vol. 3 came out. It was their first single since My Plague in 2002 and accompanied by a now-famous video of the band playing to 350 marauding fans in a Des Moines, Iowa home.<\/p>\n

In April 2004, it was reported that the family who owned the house were seeking between $300,000 and $500,000<\/a> from Slipknot, due to the extent of damage the house suffered during the shoot. They were eventually handed $50,000 by record label Roadrunner.<\/p>\n

Guitarist Jim Root later told Metal Injection: \u201c[My] understanding was that the people who owned the house used it as an income property, so they were going to remodel anyway. To what extent, I don\u2019t know, but they\u2019re definitely going to be remodelling now!\u201d<\/p>\n

Vol. 3 was recorded at The Mansion in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles, California between 2003 and 2004, with the sessions being overseen by vaunted producer Rick Rubin. The writing and tracking were troubled, as Corey Taylor told Loudwire in 2015<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe crazy thing about the first three months [in the studio]: not only was I fucked up, everybody was fucked up,\u201d he explained. \u201cWe were kinda in and out. We weren\u2019t hanging together, we weren\u2019t working on anything together. Slow but surely, I quit drinking and was a little more involved, and the music started coming together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Duality reached number one on the UK Rock & Metal chart and has since been certified Platinum in multiple markets, including Canada (three times), New Zealand (twice), Austria, the UK and Portugal. Vol. 3 has gone Platinum in Canada (twice), plus the US, the UK, Denmark, Australia and New Zealand.<\/p>\n

Slipknot are currently enjoying some time off from the road but may be busy working on new music. Last year, the band teased the release of a single called Long May You Die<\/a>, but it\u2019s yet to see the light of day.<\/p>\n

Also, percussionist Shawn \u2018Clown\u2019 Crahan continued the lengthy build-up to the band\u2019s Look Outside Your Window album in January, arguing that the project \u2013 composed of downtempo rock songs recorded simultaneously to 2008\u2019s All Hope Is Gone \u2013 is in fact not a Slipknot release at all<\/a>.<\/p>\n
