STEVE PERRY Says He Was "So Emotionally Stunned" At News Of JOURNEY's "Don't Stop Believin'" Being Declared "Biggest Song Of All Time"

The RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) recently reported that the Journey classic, "Don’t Stop Believin'", is now an 18-times platinum-certified single. According to Forbes, this means that between pure sales and other forms of consumption–namely streaming–the song has shifted at least 18 million equivalent units in the United States alone, making it the biggest song of all time.

Former Journey singer, Steve Perry, has reacted to the Forbes report, writing the following message on his Instagram page:

"When this “Don’t Stop Believin’” ,”The Biggest Song of ALL Time” article came out yesterday {3/19/24} I was so emotionally stunned. To be part of such a moment as this made me reflect on my parents. By that I mean, though I lost them both years ago, I was so happy for them because they are truly the reason this is happening. My dad was a singer and both of them were very musical. So on behalf of my Mom and Dad,  I thank every one of you for so many years of support. - Sincerely, Steve Perry"
