ARI LEAPS TO #1 IN SPOTIFY MONTHLY LISTENERS

Ariana Grande has jumped to #1 in the world on Spotify's monthly listener counter. Her latest monthly total of 76.73m is a new record for an artist on the platform, surpassing the one set by Justin Bieber.

Two weeks ago, we reported the record-breaking numbers Bieber and Grande achieved in the #1 and #2 spots. They've upped both of their totals since and swapped positions.

Speaking of "positions," Grande's single is now #1 at Pop, while second single "34+35" is blowing up at TikTok (150m views). Both tracks are Top 10 at Apple Music U.S. and Top 20 at Spotify Global.

Republic's Ari has plenty to celebrate: She announced her engagement on social media on Sunday.
