The Weeknd has become the first artist in Spotify history to hit 100 million monthly listeners, the streaming service has confirmed.

The star already has the service’s most-played song of all time, Blinding Lights, which has been played a staggering 3.4 billion times.

His latest accolade comes a few days after he dropped a new remix of Die For You with Ariana Grande.

The 2016 track has enjoyed a new lease of life after going viral on TikTok.

A minor hit when it was first released, reaching number 74 in the charts, it re-entered the Top 40 last week and is set to be a high climber this Friday.
