Abel Tesfaye, more commonly known as The Weeknd, is statistically the most popular musician on the planet, and no one else even comes close.


The 33-year-old Canadian singer’s success has seen him set two new Guinness World Records titles:

  • Most monthly listeners on Spotify – 111.4 million (as of 20 March 2023)
  • First artist to reach 100 million monthly listeners on Spotify
The Weeknd currently has almost 30 million more monthly listeners than second-placed Miley Cyrus (82.4 million).

He is also comfortably ahead of Shakira (81.6 million), Ariana Grande (80.6 million), Taylor Swift (80.2 million), Rihanna (78.5 million), and his closest male challenger, Ed Sheeran (77.5 million).

Good for him, that's what's up.

I genuinely think he sounds horrible, though, so it is a little surprising to me.

Its the MJ effect. They way his voice sounds contributes to this accomplishment

I was thinking the same thing. I wouldn't put him on Mike's level, but I've always said that the Weeknd is basically what MJ would have been if he came up during the trap era.
