Huzzah! Billie Eilish Is Spotify’s Most Streamed Monthly Artist Previously Held By The Weeknd.
“Billie Eilish is officially Spotify‘s most streamed monthly artist, the streaming platform announced on Monday (Aug. 19), replacing The Weeknd at the summit.
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
The Weeknd (real name Abel Tesfaye) showed his support for Eilish last week, when she was nearing his record. “Let’s go !” he wrote alongside a series of heart, prayer and line graph emojis on X, retweeting a post noting that, on Aug. 15, she was less than 1 million listeners away from becoming Spotify’s most streamed artist.
By passing the 100 million monthly listener ceiling in June 2024, she is the third and youngest artist to ever do so, following both Tesfaye and Taylor Swift. Eilish currently has eight of her 82 songs in Spotify’s Billions Club, which marks tracks that have surpassed one billion streams: “Lovely” with Khalid (2.8 billion plays to date), “Bad Guy” (2.5 billion), “When the Party’s Over” (1.8 billion), “Everything I Wanted” (1.6 billion), “Ocean Eyes” (1.4 billion), “Happier Than Ever” (1.3 billion), “Idontwannabeyouanymore” (1.09 billion) and “Bury a Friend” (1.01 billion).
Let’s go ! 🙏🏾❤️📈📈📈🟢 https://t.co/f9sMwEi4u0
