The Weeknd Makes History With 21 Songs Surpassing a Billion Spotify Streams

The Weeknd has something else he can be thankful for this holiday season … as the superstar artist just hit another impressive career milestone!

A few days ago … Abel Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd, had 21 songs hit 1 billion streams on Spotify … becoming the first artist to ever obtain the mind-blowing feat.

“Lost In The Fire” was the latest needle drop to reach the milestone … the track being The Weekend and Gesaffelstein’s second collab to achieve the 1B mark on the platform.

And, if that was not enough to toast to on Thursday … The Weeknd was nominated for several Billboard Music Awards — including Top Billboard Global 200 Artist, Top Billboard Global (Excl. U.S.) Artist, Top R&B Artist and Top R&B Male Artist.

The BBMAs are Dec. 12 … but who knows what he’ll have accomplished by then!
