The Grammy winner is just the third artist to ever surpass 100 million monthly listeners, joining Taylor Swift and The Weeknd in the exclusive club. At just 22 years old, she is the youngest to do so.

The Weeknd, who has long been the reigning king of Spotify, showed his support for Billie with a post on X celebrating her rapid rise to the top.

"Let's go !" he wrote alongside chart numbers showing that Billie was just one million away from overtaking him.

As her latest album, HIT ME HARD AND SOFT, continues to top the charts, the Happier Than Ever artist also recently featured on a remix for Charli XCX's ultra-viral album Brat.
