Ariana Grande has once again rewritten music streaming history by breaking the all-time record for the most monthly listeners by a female artist on Spotify. The Grammy-winning singer reached a staggering 126.81 million monthly listeners, setting a new benchmark on the world’s leading audio streaming platform.
What makes the achievement even more remarkable is that Grande surpassed her own record, which she had previously set during the Christmas season last year, driven largely by the enduring popularity of her holiday hit Last Christmas. This year’s numbers underline her consistent global appeal across seasons, genres, and generations.
Known for her powerful vocals, chart-topping albums, and strong digital presence, Ariana Grande continues to dominate the global music landscape. Her extensive catalog—from pop anthems and R&B-infused tracks to festive classics—has ensured sustained listener engagement worldwide.
Industry analysts point out that the surge in monthly listeners reflects both the timeless popularity of her earlier hits and renewed interest in her music across streaming platforms. The record further cements Ariana Grande’s status as one of the most influential and commercially successful artists of the streaming era.
