the weekendSpotify's numbers have reached dazzling heights… because the star broke her own record for monthly listeners on the platform.
The singer-songwriter now has nearly 120.5 million monthly listeners… ahead of his fellow pop star. Taylor Swift who is reportedly the only other artist with over 100 million monthly listeners.
The Weeknd has held the record since it surpassed 100 million for the first time in February 2023… holding the title almost every month since it reached completion.
It's been an important few weeks for The Weeknd on the streamer… because his song “After Hours” became the newest member of Spotify's Billions Membership, songs that have been played more than a billion times.
“After Hours” is reportedly The Weeknd’s 18th song to surpass the billion-stream threshold… more than any other artist.
Of course, it also has the most streamed song in Spotify history… with 2020 song “Blinding Lights” at No. 1 of all time.
The Weeknd just wrapped up two sold-out shows in Australia… and has two more scheduled for next weekend.
Sources with direct knowledge tell us he will spend next week in Sydney… and hopes to put on a great show on the ground. We're told he's currently focused on acting and the music he already has rather than working on something new.
His name may be The Weeknd, but it seems like fans hear it every day!
