THE WEEKND TAKES SPOTIFY CROWN
The Weeknd is once again the artist with the most monthly listeners on Spotify, at more than 106m.
The Weeknd is once again the artist with the most monthly listeners on Spotify, at more than 106m. The XO/Republic star became the first to reach 100m monthly listeners in February 2023 and, with the exception of a recent one-month period, has held that spot ever since.
The latest figure follows the 9/13 release of the video for “Dancing in the Flames,” the lead single from The Weeknd's forthcoming set, Hurry Up Tomorrow. The project will complete a trilogy that includes After Hours (2020) and Dawn FM (2022).
That 106m designation also succeeds the debut of the YouTube livestream of Abel's sold-out 9/7 show in São Paulo, Brazil. Managed by SALXCO's Wassim "Sal" Slaiby and booked by CAA, the Toronto native heads to Australia next month as part of the Live Nation-supported After Hours Til Dawn Global Stadium Tour, the itinerary for which can be located here.
