DJ The Prophet makes history with ‘Wanna Play?’: first Hardcore track to reach 100 million streams

In December 2025, DJ The Prophet reached a milestone that will go down in Hard Dance history. His track ‘Wanna Play?’ has officially surpassed 100 million streams, making it the first Hardcore track ever to reach this number. Released on his own label SCANTRAXX, the achievement marks a defining moment not only for DJ The Prophet, but for the Hardcore scene as a whole.

Founded by DJ The Prophet himself in 2002, SCANTRAXX has always stood for pushing boundaries within Hard Dance. With Wanna Play?, that vision has now reached an unprecedented global audience.

From instant crowd reaction to global phenomenon

Released in May 2019, Wanna Play? made an immediate impact. From the very first play, it was clear the track had something special.

“The first time I played it, the crowd just screamed WHAAA! and I instantly knew this was going to be big,”
- DJ The Prophet

The track’s now-iconic vocal line: “One for the night, two for the day, let’s let them know that we don’t play!”, quickly became a recognizable hook for Hard Dance fans worldwide and a staple moment on dancefloors.

Viral resurgence through TikTok

About a year after its release, Wanna Play? gained a second life. The sound exploded on TikTok following a now-famous in-car video by Voidax featuring his girlfriend, captioned “Me when my jam plays on the radio.” The clip sparked a massive trend, inspiring hundreds of thousands of user-generated videos and introducing the track to an entirely new audience.

This viral momentum caused the track to resurface globally, nearly two years after its original release, a rare achievement for a Hardcore record.

Over 1 billion views across social platforms

The viral success translated into exceptional global performance. Across TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram, the sound has now accumulated over 1 billion views, alongside millions of likes, comments, and shares.

The track entered Shazam charts in 28 countries and reached the TikTok “Popular” charts in 12 countries, highlighting its worldwide reach beyond the Hard Dance scene.

On streaming platforms, Wanna Play? continues to dominate:

  • Featured in 2,000+ playlists on Spotify
  • Combined playlist reach of 6.5 million listeners
  • Over 100 million Spotify streams
  • Charted in 281 international charts across Spotify, Apple Music, Beatport, and SoundCloud

A personal moment behind the milestone

To celebrate this historic achievement, SCANTRAXX surprised DJ The Prophet during the SCANTRAXX Christmas outing with a special tribute. Fans may remember that his daughter appeared in the original Wanna Play? videoclip — a moment that has always been close to his heart.

To mark the 100 million streams milestone, DJ The Prophet was presented with a new, updated video featuring both of his children, congratulating him on this extraordinary achievement.
