At this point, Spotify should just rename the app to The Weeknd Radio 😭

#1 for 4.5 years… meanwhile, actual music innovation seems to be taking a nap. Congrats on consistency, not creativity.

The Weeknd getting snubbed at the Grammys once again, inspite of being the top artist on spotify right now (and has been many many times) Yet this guy has the most songs with over 1B and yet a "music" award show fails to recognise that. OKAY... 😏

The Weeknd has spent over 4.5 years as the most-streamed artist on Spotify by monthly listeners — the longest reign of any artist

Something your favorite couldn't do. The Weeknd is on top and will be on top for years.

cumulative 4.5 years at #1? that's not a run, that's establishing residency. legend.

Blinding lights is one of the best produced songs OAT. His producer needs a raise

People say “streaming doesn’t matter,” then why is he literally ruling it? Spotify should just make him the permanent CEO at this point

And Bruno Mars is the only artist that has the most monthly listeners in the Spotify history with average monthly listeners of 151 million listeners!

Insane consistency 😳 The Weeknd’s basically living at the top of Spotify like it’s his permanent address. 4.5 years straight dominating monthly listeners? That’s not just hits — that’s era after era of replay value. King of streams, no debate. 👑🎧
