One singer has a billion reasons to thank the Philadelphia Phillies and their fans singing through another deep playoff run.
British singer and songwriter Calum Scott is celebrating after his rendition of "Dancing On My Own," remixed by Tiesto, surpasses 1 billion streams on Spotify.
For the past two seasons, the Phillies have blasted the song at the ballpark, in the locker room, after victories and the song has become the unofficial anthem for the team.
Initially, the team was not going to reuse the song for their anthem this year, but after they were having a rough time at the start of the season the players brought it back.
