Ariana Grande Breaks All-Time Spotify Record for Monthly Listeners


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.

Arijit Singh Becomes the Most Followed Artist on Spotify, Surpasses Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran


Written by Tanisha Cardozo

Mumbai | July 2025 – Arijit Singh, India’s most beloved voice of romance and heartbreak, has achieved a historic milestone: he is now the most followed artist on Spotify, with over 151 million followers globally. This puts him ahead of international powerhouses Taylor Swift (139.6M) and Ed Sheeran (121M).

The news, shared by global music tracking platforms Chartmasters and Volt.fm, highlights Arijit’s unshakable hold on music fans across the world. Despite having fewer monthly listeners than some of his international peers, his follower count signals deeper fan loyalty and enduring popularity.

Arijit’s journey began humbly in 2005 on the reality show Fame Gurukul, but he rose to fame with the unforgettable 2013 hit “Tum Hi Ho” from the film Aashiqui 2. Since then, his emotionally rich vocals have given life to some of India’s most iconic love songs.

From “Channa Mereya” to “Kesariya”, his songs consistently top Indian streaming charts. His ability to channel complex emotions through melody has earned him a devoted global fanbase.

Arijit’s fan appeal is no longer limited to India or the diaspora. His upcoming live concert at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London is a sign of his growing international stature. He is among the few Indian artists to perform at such a prestigious venue, placing him firmly in the league of global superstars.

Spotify distinguishes between monthly listeners (a snapshot of current popularity) and followers (a reflection of long-term support). Arijit’s top ranking in followers shows that fans are committed to following his musical journey over time—not just enjoying the latest hit.

Arijit Singh’s rise is not just a personal triumph—it represents the growing influence of Indian music on the global stage. As non-English artists find more space in global playlists, Arijit’s success proves that emotion and melody transcend language.

With this milestone, Arijit Singh is not just a Bollywood icon—he’s a global voice of emotion, and his journey is far from over.
