Taylor Swift becomes first female artist to hit 100 mm monthly listeners on Spotify

Singer Taylor Swift has accomplished a remarkable milestone on the music streaming giant Spotify.

In an official announcement on Tuesday, Spotify unveiled Taylor Swift as the inaugural female artist to gather an impressive 100 million monthly listeners on the platform, underscoring a momentous triumph for her musical prowess.

The news was conveyed by Spotify through their social media channels, where they posted: “Royalty demeanor. On August 29th, Taylor Swift secured her position as the very first female artist on Spotify to achieve 100 million monthly listeners.”

The Weeknd holds the No. 1 spot for most monthly listeners on the app with more than 110 million. He breached 100 million, setting the Spotify record, in February. Bad Bunny comes in at No. 3 with 80 million, followed by Ed Sheeran with 77 million.

The news comes after Swift released her third re-recorded album this July, “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).” The album debuted at No. 1, landing atop the Billboard 200 with 716,000 album-equivalent units. “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),” too, garnered Swift the accolade of being the first woman to have four albums grace the top 10 of Billboard’s album chart at once — making her the third artist in history to ever do so.

After years of wanting to play in Mexico City, just got to play 4 of the most unforgettable shows for the most beautiful and generous fans. Feeling so grateful for the memories we’re making together on this tour 🥹 TE AMO. 🇲🇽
