The Weeknd Makes History as First Artist With 5 Billion Streams on a Song
Global superstar The Weeknd has officially made history by becoming the first artist ever to have a single song streamed over five billion times on Spotify, according to Guinness World Records.
This milestone solidifies The Weeknd’s status as one of the most dominant figures in modern music, breaking barriers on the world’s biggest streaming platform. While he has consistently shattered records throughout his career, this achievement marks an unprecedented moment — not just for him, but for the music industry as a whole.
The song that reached this landmark (widely believed to be his smash hit Blinding Lights) has become a cultural phenomenon since its release, topping charts worldwide and maintaining massive replay value years later.
With this record, The Weeknd continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the digital era of music consumption, setting a bar that few, if any, artists may reach anytime soon.
