The Weeknd isn't just the most listened-to artist in the entire world on Spotify, he's reaching record-breaking new highs. He's been the top artist on the platform for much of the past few years though occasionally Taylor Swift has briefly taken the title. But since his 2021 smash hit "Blinding Lights" became the most streamed song on the platform and the first to be streamed 4 billion times, he's run away with the title and his record.
Now in addition to having the most streamed song on all of Spotify, he now has the record for the most monthly listeners. He recently became the first artist to ever hit 115 million monthly listeners and currently sits at 115,368,010. What's even more impressive is that he hasn't released a new studio album in almost two full years. Dawn FM was released in early 2022, though he's stayed busy since then. He released his Live At SoFi Stadium live album in 2023 and followed it up with a deluxe version of his 2016 hit record Starboy. That included his smash hit remix of "Die For You" with Ariana Grande.
