The Weeknd is better than Taylor Swift, Drake and Miley Cyrus

Toronto-based artist The Weeknd has become the first artist on Spotify to break the 100 million monthly listener mark, a colossal feat.

This achievement was made a few days after dropping a remix of his excellent track Die For You with Ariana Grande, whom he joined for the 4th time in his career.

The Weeknd is therefore ahead of top artists such as Miley Cyrus (82.5 million listeners), Taylor Swift (89.3 million) and the rapper Drake (68.6 million), also his friend.

During his career, The Weeknd has raised four Grammy Awards, 20 Billboard Music Awards, while being nominated for an Oscar and an Emmy, too.

It’s also worth noting that in 2021, his mind-boggling cover of Blinding Lights became the first song in Billboard Hot 100 history to remain in the Top 10 for a full year.

This plateau is certainly a point of pride for The Weeknd as this song and his album After Hours were “snubbed” at the Grammy Awards nominations, after a stellar performance at the Super Bowl.

A situation that he saw as an attack.
