On 27 February 2023, The Weeknd became the first artist in Spotify history to reach 100 million monthly listeners, the streaming service announced on Twitter and Instagram. The artist is far ahead of his competitors, who include notable artists like Miley Cyrus who has 82.5 million monthly listeners, Taylor Swift with 80.3 million, and Drake with 68.6 million.
The announcement comes just a few days after Ariana Grande and the head of XO Records collaborated once again on a remix of his Starboy track ‘Die For You,’ which you can check out below.
The announcement also coincided with the premiere of his HBO concert special, ‘The Weeknd: Live at SoFi Stadium,’ filmed during his 2022 ‘After Hours Til Dawn’ tour. He stated via Twitter that Live at SoFi Stadium ‘will be the last piece of Dawn FM.’ He continued, ‘I can see the horizon.’
