Leading music artist The Weeknd is gaining more fame as the celeb was called out by Guinness World Records for being the world’s most popular artist.
The heartthrob of millions of fans has been producing a large number of back-to-back hits but all credit goes to his record-breaking streaming of hit numbers that enabled him to gain the famous and well-reputed title.
But if you think the news has shocked fans across the board, well, we’ve got a reality check for you and the answer is no!
They have been supporting the celeb since day one as they feel every track he produces is just magical. Moreover, the statistics came when Spotify went through its detailed treasure cove of data to find out that it is indeed true. This singer is just as popular in terms of streaming records as he is on social media.
But that is not the only accolade to his name. The star is also famed for breaking a huge milestone belonging to Spotify.
He broke all records of the leading streaming platform to reach 100 million monthly listeners as of the end of February. And that makes him far and away at the top of the class when compared to other leading names in the music industry.
On the other hand, as per reports from Guinness, the famous Starboy singer has managed to break even more records as he’s built up more streaming followers since achieving that milestone from Spotify.
Other top artists that were to follow the celeb on the list included the likes of Miley Cyrus, Shakira, Taylor Swift, and Ariana Grande.
It appears like this is definitely a month of celebrations for the leading star. Just seven days back, he was able to make a clean sweeping performance in his hometown of Canada which is where he happens to be a native.
The star bagged the top four accolades at the Juno Awards including the categories of Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year.
