Reaching this many people through music is certainly a beautiful thing to have done.
The music video for singer-songwriter Benson Boone’s breakout hit “Beautiful Things” has reached one billion views on YouTube this week. The visual—which features Boone and his band performing the track set against a Utah landscape—is Boone’s first song to reach this milestone.
“Beautiful Things” is the lead single off Boone’s debut studio album Fireworks & Rollerblades. Released in 2024, Fireworks & Rollerblades peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 and has spent 109 weeks on the chart and counting. On top of being Boone’s first song in YouTube’s Billion Views Club, “Beautiful Things” is also the singer’s first Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit. The song peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100 and spent 89 weeks on the chart in total. “Beautiful Things” is Boone’s third entry on the Hot 100, following his 2021 track “Ghost Town” (No. 100) and 2022 song “In The Stars” (No. 82).
In 2025, Boone dropped his second studio album, the Billboard 200 No. 2 hit American Heart. American Heart spawned three more Hot 100 hits for Boone with “Mystical Magical” (No. 17), “Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else” (No. 19) and “Mr. Electric Blue” (No. 73).
U.S.-based fans of Boone can catch him on his 34-date summer 2026 Wanted Man tour. Wanted Man kicks off on July 7 at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh before snaking its way across the country and concluding in Casper, Wyoming, on Sept. 3.
