Move over, The Weeknd! Billie Eilish is currently the most-listened-to artist per month on music streaming platform Spotify.
On Monday, the 22-year-old singer officially surpassed the 34-year-old artist in monthly streamers, replacing The Weekend — whose real name is Abel Tesfaye — as Spotify’s most-streamed artist each month, according to Billboard.
As of writing, Eilish has 100.1 million monthly listeners on the platform, beating Tesfaye’s 99.8 million active streamers. This makes the “What Was I Made For?” singer the third artist to surpass 100 million on Spotify. The other two are The Weeknd and Taylor Swift, who currently have 91.7 million monthly listeners.
Before Eilish achieved the feat, Tesfaye voiced his support for her last week via X, formerly Twitter. The “Blinding Lights” singer tweeted “Let’s go!” along with heart, prayer, and line graph emojis while retweeting a post showing Eilish’s updated Spotify stats.
At the time, Eilish was less than 1 million away from hitting 100 million listeners and surpassing The Weeknd’s monthly listenership.
