Eilish follows The Weeknd, who has 107 million monthly listeners, and Taylor Swift, who has 102 million. However, both artists have more than double the songs on Spotify than the “Lunch” singer.
The new milestone also makes Eilish, 22, the youngest artist yet to reach the 100 million monthly listeners mark.
“Spotify has been a part of Billie’s story from the start. Ever since ‘Ocean Eyes,’ she has continuously grown her fan base around the world,” Jeremy Erlich, Spotify’s global head of music, told the outlet. “What she and [brother-collaborator] Finneas have achieved since 2016 is quite remarkable … and all this by the age of 22.”
The “Birds of a Feather” singer also currently has eight songs in the music platform’s Billions Club, including “Lovely” with Khalid (2.8 million streams), “Bad Guy” (2.5 million), “When the Party’s Over” (1.8 million), “Everything I Wanted” (1.6 million), “Ocean Eyes” (1.4 million), “Happier Than Ever” (1.3 million), “Idontwannabeyouanymore” (1.09 million) and “Bury a Friend” (1.01 million).
Eilish released her third studio album Hit Me Hard and Soft last month and it debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart. All 10 songs from the album also debuted in the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100.
Earlier this year, she also made history by becoming the youngest two-time Oscar winner with her best original song win for “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie.
