The Neighbourhood’s ‘Sweater Weather’ Cozies Its Way Into YouTube’s Billion Views Club
The Neighbourhood’s 2012 hit “Sweater Weather” has surpassed one billion views on YouTube, placing the California rock band in the platform’s Billion Views Club. The milestone reflects the song’s lasting appeal, helped by its association with Tumblr-era alternative culture and its later adoption as an LGBTQIA+ anthem.
Released as the lead single from the band’s 2013 debut album, I Love You., the song reached No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 while the album peaked at No. 25. Its official video was uploaded in March 2013, and the track enjoyed a renewed surge in 2020 after TikTok users adopted it as bisexual community shorthand; it then entered the Billboard Global 200 more than eight years after release, peaking at No. 134.
