The Weeknd Reigns as World's Top Artist.

The Weeknd has set two new Guinness World Records titles for being the most popular musician on the planet, with 111.4 million monthly listeners on Spotify and being the first artist to reach 100 million monthly listeners on the platform. His success is largely attributed to the viral success of his "Die For You" remix featuring Ariana Grande, which peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The Weeknd's streaming figures have surpassed those of Miley Cyrus, Shakira, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Ed Sheeran.
