Billie Eilish Becomes The Most Streamed Monthly Artist On Spotify: Billie Eilish has taken over as Spotify’s most-streamed monthly artist, a title previously held by The Weeknd. The streaming platform announced this on Monday, August 19, marking a major milestone for the 22-year-old singer.
This achievement follows Eilish surpassing 100 million monthly listeners in June 2024, making her the third and youngest artist to reach this milestone, after The Weeknd and Taylor Swift. The Weeknd had anticipated this accomplishment, showing his support on social media. On August 15, he retweeted a post highlighting her approach to his record, adding, “Let’s go!” with heart, prayer, and line graph emojis.
Eilish now has eight tracks in Spotify’s Billions Club, which honors songs that have exceeded one billion streams. Notable among these are “Lovely” with Khalid, which has amassed 2.8 billion plays, “Bad Guy” with 2.5 billion, and “When the Party’s Over” with 1.8 billion streams.
