This year has been a huge success for several artists. Karol G, for example, captured the world’s attention with her Mañana Será Bonito tour, breaking records and establishing herself as one of the most important Latin artists on the global stage. And then there’s Taylor Swift, who has been dominating the music scene since last year with her The Eras tour. But with so many talented artists out there, who is the most listened-to artist in the world? We’ve got the answer.

It’s none other than the young Billie Eilish. And it’s no wonder. She released her third studio album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, which has lived up to the expectations of both fans and critics. Songs like ‘Birds of a Feather,’ ‘Lunch,’ and ‘Chihiro’ have really struck a chord with listeners.

Billie Eilish delivers with ten carefully chosen tracks that explore themes of love, adulthood, and her relationship with herself. And in a time when songs are getting shorter, Eilish stands out by offering tracks that last around five minutes, with some even approaching six.

Adding to all this success is her latest collaboration with none other than one of the biggest artists of the moment, Charli XCX. The British singer teamed up with Billie for the remix of ‘Guess’. The result? It’s become one of the most successful collaborations of the year.

On top of that, Billie is still riding the wave of success from the ballad she wrote for ‘Barbie, What Was I Made For?,’ which earned her a second Oscar for Best Original Song and a Grammy for Song of the Year. Quite an achievement!

Billie Eilish’s New Milestone

With such an impressive track record, it’s no surprise that on August 20, 2024, Billie Eilish became the most listened-to artist in the world on music platforms. With 100.1 million monthly listeners, the singer has surpassed The Weeknd to reach the top spot on Spotify’s charts. Quite an achievement!

Taylor Swift is in third place with 91 million monthly listeners. But that could quickly change if she suddenly announces a new album—she’s always full of surprises. So far, Billie hasn’t said anything about this new milestone in her career. She’s never been about the numbers; for her, it’s all about expressing herself through her music. Still, we’re excited to see Billie reach this new record in her journey.
