It’s Guinness official… The Weeknd is the World’s Most Popular Artist.
The Starboy Canadian crooner is the first artist to reach 100 million monthly Spotify listeners. Guinness certified the huge feat to the New York Post. He won Spotify’s 2015 most streamed album and Billboard’s Hot 100’s most consecutive weeks in the Top 10 by a solo male artist in 2016. “Blinding Lights,” his 2020 megahit, also set a global record.
The Weeknd soared above Taylor Swift, who has 80.3 million monthly listens on Spotify.
Adding to his GOAT status, The Weeknd joined King of Pop, Michael Jackson earlier this month as the only male solo artists with multiple No. 1 songs from three albums, hitting that height with his song “Die For You (Remix),” featuring Ariana Grande.
