Lady Gaga has broken another milestone in her career, claiming the record for the female artist with the most monthly listeners on Spotify.
On February 18, she surpassed Ariana Grande’s previous record, currently boasting a staggering 123,736,959 monthly listeners. This places Gaga behind only Bruno Mars and The Weeknd, who have more listeners than her.
The news comes as Gaga’s recent single “Abracadabra“ continues to rise in popularity, and her duet with Bruno Mars, “Die With a Smile,” stays strong on the charts.
The song has held No. 4 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100, after previously spending five weeks at No. 1. Meanwhile, “Abracadabra” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart and landed at No. 29 on the Hot 100.
Both singles are part of Gaga’s upcoming album Mayhem, scheduled for release on March 7, via Interscope. The album will feature collaborations, including a track with French producer Gesaffelstein titled “Killah”.
Adding to her busy month, Gaga will be pulling double duty as both host and musical guest on the March 8 episode of Saturday Night Live.
Her recent appearance on the show’s 50th anniversary celebration, where she performed “Shallow” and teamed up with former cast member Andy Samberg for a comedic musical number, added to the buzz.
