Bruno Mars Becomes First Artist to Reach 150 Million Monthly Spotify Listeners

Pop icon Bruno Mars has achieved a groundbreaking milestone, becoming the first artist in history to reach 150 million monthly listeners on Spotify. This record-setting achievement further cements his status as one of the most commercially successful artists of the 21st century.

The surge in Bruno Mars’ Spotify numbers follows the release of his two recent collaborations: ‘Die With A Smile’ with Lady Gaga and his feature on ROSÉ’s ‘APT’. These are his first releases since his 2021 Grammy-winning album ‘An Evening with Silk Sonic’, a collaborative project with Anderson .Paak. Before Bruno Mars’ latest feat, the previous record for most monthly Spotify listeners was 120 million, held by The Weeknd. The Canadian superstar was also the first to surpass 100 million monthly listeners, setting a high benchmark in streaming dominance.
