Ari passes Dua in Spotify monthly listeners (Gaga rises to #13)

[nswain1110 2,661]

Ariana Grande passes Dua Lipa in total monthly Spotify listeners at 57,896,107 for the new #4 spot (vs Dua's 57,048,693 who drops to #5). This makes Grande the highest ranked female on the list. I think we can all agree that Gaga's fanbase helped propel her there w/ ROM!!!

Lady Gaga rises two spots to #13, with 46,167,589 listeners, a new career high on the format for Mother Monster - thanks Arianators & Blinks ;-)

How do they track this by the way? Is it artists that have been listened by someone at least once in the month?

Spotify's official definition:

"Monthly listeners are unique listeners who play your music during a 28-day period. This stat updates every day, and appears on both your artist profile on Spotify and right above the timeline graph in the Audience section of Spotify for Artists.

2 important things to clarify about your monthly listeners:

They’ve listened within a rolling window of 28 days. We use a rolling window of 28 days because the number of days in a calendar month can vary, and because people listen to music differently depending on the day of the week. This means an equal number of days of the week are included—so, the same number of Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, etc.

They are unique listeners. If someone plays your music multiple times in a 28-day period, they only get counted once.

Tracking trends using your monthly listeners timeline can give you a good idea of how your music is performing over longer periods of time, and can also help you understand overall engagement and listening behavior after a new release. For more immediate changes with a higher level of detail, keep an eye on your number of daily listeners."

Give Justin some credit too.

I just remembered that way back in 2016, I checked her Spotify monthly listeners so I could have a baseline number to see how she would increase w/ Joanne. At that time she was around #195 w/ less than 5 million monthly listeners. We used to call her "streaming poison". Oh how far our Lady has come in the streaming world!!!

The Cure really rebranded her as a streaming legend

She didn't start propelling higher for Dua's crown until ROM though. I think Ari and Justin share a LOT of the same fan base/demographic tbh. He probably helped her some but Gaga's fanbase is more separated from Ari's so it definitely helped her more.

So nice to see Gaga rising in an organic manner. Such an improvement compared to ARTPOP era.

The list here updates daily using Spotify's API - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-streamed_artists_on_Spotify#Most_monthly_listeners

So I guess this includes day 1 of Chromatica release? 

Also, I'm surprised to see Khalid so high and also Ed at number 6 even though he didn't put out anything new last month
