Billie Eilish has surpassed the 100 million monthly listeners mark on Spotify to become the youngest artist to achieve the milestone. Additionally, the artist is the only third singer to have the credits to her name after The Weeknd and Taylor Swift. The music app confirmed the news to the Billboard 100 on Saturday and revealed that the musician achieved the milestone with only 82 songs in her catalog.
Though the 22-year-old singer followed The Weeknd and the Midnights singer, both of the pop icons also doubled the songs of Eilish in their catalogs when they created the record.
What did the head of Spotify say in the statement released after Billie Eilish’s achievement?
Soon after the What Was I Made For artist hit the milestone, the head of Spotify, Jeremy Erlich, released a statement mentioning that Billie Eilish has been a part of the Spotify community since the beginning of her career. Moreover, the head of Spotify revealed that Eilish has had a growing community as her fan base multiplied over the years.

Eight of the singer’s songs are currently available in the Billions Club on the music platform.
