Billie Eilish Becomes Spotify’s Most-Streamed Monthly Artist ArticlePure

Billie Eilish is happier than ever — and for good reason!

As of June 2024, the singer-songwriter, 22, is the No. 1 most streamed monthly artist on Spotify, the company announced in a press release on Monday, Aug. 20.

The following day, the “What Was I Made For?” posted to Instagram to share her disbelief — and express some gratitude toward her fans.

In a post shared Tuesday, Aug. 20, Eilish revealed that she earned the No. 1 spot by hitting 100,105,704 monthly listeners and wrote, “Number 1 in the world on spotify i really can’t even believe this.”

“I love you all so much this is the craziest thing ever,” she added.

Along with the most monthly listeners, Eilish also became only the third — and youngest-ever — artist to reach 100 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

The first two to achieve the milestone? Taylor Swift and The Weeknd, who shared a post rooting for Eilish as she approached the threshold.

On Aug. 15, The Weeknd, whose full name is Abel Tesfaye, shared a post from an Eilish fan account on X (formerly Twitter) announcing that she was “less than 1 million listeners away” from the No. 1 spot.

In a show of support for the “Birds of a Feather” singer, Tesfaye, 34, wrote, “Let’s go ! ????????.”

News of Eilish’s latest milestone comes three months after she released her third studio album, Hit Me Hard and Soft.

Released on May 17, the record was produced and co-written by her brother and longtime collaborator Finneas. During the process of creating the LP, the sibling duo later revealed, they had one of their biggest feuds of all time.

After the duo was asked what their “biggest argument” was while recording the album on Hot Ones Versus last month, Finneas, 27, replied, “I put my feet up on the desk a lot and Billie is right there.”

“Finneas is always … well, not always, a lot of the time, he is a lot of times barefoot or a lot of the times in very filthy shoes,” the “Lunch” singer explained. “He’ll put them…this is the situation…I’m like right next to him. And my face is right there.”

On a more serious note, Finneas said he thinks “the longest, biggest argument was during a period of transition in maybe both of our lives where we were both just trying to be honest.”

“To give you credit, I was very much like high and mighty about like, ‘You’re not being honest enough or authentic enough.’ And you were coming up with such beautiful melodies and cool cadences. Then, by the time we had cool lyrics, everything else was done,” he told Eilish, adding that he “learned a lot from being too ego-centric.”
