Indian singer Arijit Singh has made history by becoming Spotify’s most followed artist worldwide, surpassing pop superstar Taylor Swift. Arijit now has 151 million followers on the streaming platform, while Swift holds the second spot with 139 million followers.
Arijit Singh, known for his soulful voice and over 15 years in the music industry, has gained massive popularity, particularly in India. British singer Ed Sheeran is ranked third with 121 million followers, boosted recently by his India-inspired track “Sapphire.”
The milestone has sparked reactions online. Some note that Arijit’s vast follower count reflects the large population of India, while others continue to support Swift for her global influence and record-breaking tours.
Taylor Swift recently became the first artist to be officially recognized as a billionaire solely from her music, according to Forbes. Her ongoing Eras Tour is the first billion-dollar tour ever and has significantly boosted economies worldwide. Alongside her financial success, Swift has won multiple Grammy awards and set numerous music records.
While Arijit leads in Spotify followers, Swift remains a dominant figure in the music world for her achievements both on and off the stage.
