This achievement surpasses previous record-holder Ariana Grande, with Billie Eilish now ranking as the second-highest female artist, approximately 16 million monthly listeners behind Gaga.
The record-breaking numbers are largely driven by her recent successes, including:
- "Die With a Smile," her duet with Bruno Mars, which dominated the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks
- Her new solo single "Abracadabra," which reached No. 29 on the Hot 100 and topped Billboard's Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart
- Both tracks are featured on her upcoming album "Mayhem," scheduled for release on March 7 from Interscope
Adding to her momentum, Lady Gaga is set to host and perform as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live's March 8 episode. She recently participated in SNL's 50th-anniversary celebration, performing "Shallow" from "A Star Is Born" and collaborating with Andy Samberg on "Dick in a Box."
