The Weeknd’s chart-topping anthem “Blinding Lights” continues to rewrite history as it surpasses its record and secures the title of the most-streamed song in Spotify’s history. With over four billion plays, the 80’s nostalgic track, known for its infectious beats and captivating melody, has not only dominated charts but has now etched its name in the annals of music streaming.
In February 2023, The Weeknd became the first artist on Spotify to amass a staggering 100 million monthly listeners. Fast forward to today, and he holds the coveted position as the platform’s number-one artist, commanding a massive audience of 113 million monthly listeners.
“I’ll never stop being humbled by anything I create making its way to millions of people let alone billions! I’m so thankful this song makes people feel a way that they keep going back to listen,” said Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye.
“Blinding Lights” has become an anthem for the ages, securing its place as the new No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 song of all time. The track’s monumental achievement surpasses Chubby Checker’s 1960 hit “The Twist,” solidifying The Weeknd’s legacy in the music industry.
