Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, who we all know as The Weeknd, is statistically the most popular musician on the planet, according to Guinness World Records.
"No one else even comes close," the organization said in a statement earlier this week.
The Canadian singer, 33 years old, has set two new Guinness records. He currently has the most monthly listeners on Spotify; 111.4 million as of March 20. He also became the first artist to reach 100 million monthly listeners.
Miley Cyrus ranks behind The Weeknd, with 82.4 million monthly listeners, according to Guinness World Records.
Next is Shakira (81.6 million), Ariana Grande (80.6 million), Taylor Swift (80.2 million), Rihanna (78.5 million), and Ed Sheeran (77.5 million).
The Weeknd's rise to popularity was fueled in part by TikTok, after his remix of "Die for You" featuring Ariana Grande went viral on the platform. The song peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
