The Weeknd has the most monthly listeners on Spotify for a male artist<\/h2>\n\n\n

The critics define The Weeknd’s style as “Rhythm and Blues contemporary.” His songs are sad, tragic and somber.<\/p>\n

Why is The Weeknd so popular?<\/h2>\n

The artist started his musical career uploading songs to YouTube, until a producer discovered it and took him to the commercial circuit. That’s how he became the superstar he is today.<\/p>\n

The Weeknd Sets New Record As Spotify\u2019s Most-Streamed Artist<\/h2>\n

The Weeknd now has more than 86 million monthly listeners on the streaming service.<\/h6>\n

The Weeknd<\/strong> has become the No.1 global artist on Spotify<\/strong> on Saturday, amassing over 86 million monthly listeners on the digital music platform.<\/p>\n

The feat comes after the Weeknd<\/span> released his fifth studio album Dawn FM, a follow-up to 2020\u2019s After Hours, on January 7. Following its release, the album dominated the Spotify<\/span> charts as the top album around the globe and in the U.S.
The album also set a new record on the Billboard Global 200 chart \u2013 charting 24 songs, the most ever by a solo male artist.<\/p>\n

The compilation The Highlights also occupied the Billboard Chart<\/strong> Top 10 at No.6, alongside Dawn FM, earning The Weeknd a rare two albums in the top 10.<\/p>\n

Dawn FM continues to top charts worldwide despite no physical product being available. The album debuted No.1 on Apple Music US and in 125 countries as well as No.1 on Spotify<\/strong><\/span> US & globally. Its cumulative streams have surpassed over 500 million to date.<\/p>\n

\n

Adding to the laurels, the single \u201cSacrifice\u201d debuted at No.1 on Spotify US & global and is charting in over 130 countries on Apple Music.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The new album also sees The Weeknd<\/strong><\/em> reach a new critical high watermark. It registered his highest aggregate score on Metacritic at \u201c89.\u201d Among high praise, Variety raved, \u201cAfter Hours has resonated for nearly two years after its release, and in the face of another phase of a daunting pandemic, it seems that Dawn FM \u2013 possibly The Weeknd\u2019s best and most fully realized album to date \u2013 will help carry fans through this one as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
