Lady Gaga Breaks All-Time Spotify Record for Most Monthly Listeners as a Female Artist

Lady Gaga proved to be a master magician earlier this month with the release of her new single “Abracadabra,” and for her next trick, she’s making her global audience reappear.

On Tuesday (Feb. 18), Gaga officially surpassed Ariana Grande’s record as the female artist with the most monthly listeners in the history of Spotify. At press time, Gaga currently holds 123,736,959 monthly listeners on the app, with only two other artists (Bruno Mars and The Weeknd) garnering more listeners. Grande nabbed the all-time record for the female artist with the most monthly listeners on the app back in December, when she surpassed Taylor Swift’s previous record of 116 million listeners.

The news comes as Gaga and Mars’ duet “Die With a Smile” continues to dominate the charts. The song falls to No. 4 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 after previously holding the top spot for five weeks; Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” “Luther” and “TV Off” ascend to Nos. 1-3, respectively, after the rapper’s record-breaking Super Bowl Halftime Show performance. Meanwhile, “Abracadabra” came in at No. 29 on last week’s Hot 100, while debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart.

Both “Die With a Smile” and “Abracadabra” come off of Gaga’s highly anticipated new album, Mayhem, due out March 7 via Interscope. In an Instagram post shared on Tuesday, Gaga revealed the full tracklist for the new album, including a new collaboration with French producer Gesaffelstein on “Killah.”

Meanwhile, Saturday Night Live also announced on Tuesday that Gaga would be pulling double duty on its March 8 episode, serving as both host and musical guest. Gaga helped celebrate the iconic show’s 50th anniversary over the weekend, when she teamed up with former cast member Andy Samberg to perform the show’s iconic musical number, “D-ck in a Box,” and also delivered “Shallow” solo.
