Guinness record breaking, The Weeknd is officially the most listened to artist

 

The Weeknd is the most popular artist in the world according to the Guinness Book of World Records. The 33-year-old Canadian, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, set two new Guinness World Records for most monthly listeners on Spotify at 111.4 million and he is also the first artist to reach 100 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

And that's not all. The Weeknd's 2020 single "Blinding Lights" is Spotify's most streamed song of all time, with more than 3.47 billion streams as of Monday. "Blinding Lights" is also the longest-charting song on the Billboard Hot 100 of all time with a total of 90 weeks – despite the fact that the Grammys snubbed the song.

Impressively, no one even comes close to The Weeknd's streaming success. Shakira is the closest with 81.6 million listeners, followed by Ariana Grande with 80.6 million listeners, Taylor Swift with 80.2 million listeners and Rihanna with 78.5 million listeners. The closest male challenger is Ed Sheeran with 77.5 million monthly listeners.

And these are not the only Guinness Records that the rapper has. In 2016 he was awarded a record for the most streamed album of 2015 and also for the most consecutive weeks in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 by a single male artist.
