The Weeknd has officially made Spotify history as the longest-reigning #1 artist by monthly listeners on the platform.
The Canadian superstar first reached the top spot back in September 2015, becoming the first artist ever to lead the monthly listeners chart. Now, in November 2025, he’s still sitting comfortably at #1 — marking a full decade of dominance.
It’s no surprise, though. The Weeknd’s music has consistently shaped pop and R&B culture, from the dark, moody tones of House of Balloons to the cinematic world of After Hours and Dawn FM. His songs aren’t just hits; they’ve become soundtracks to entire eras.
Fans around the world continue to stream his catalog nonstop, with timeless tracks like “Blinding Lights,” “Save Your Tears,” and “Starboy” keeping him at the forefront of global playlists. Whether it’s his hypnotic vocals, unmatched artistry, or cinematic storytelling, The Weeknd’s impact clearly isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
