    Hold onto your headphones, folks! Billie Eilish has just pulled off an incredible feat by surpassing Taylor Swift to become the female artist with the most monthly listeners on Spotify. With a whopping 98.038 million listeners, Billie edges out Taylor’s 98.037 million by the slimmest of margins.

    This accomplishment is especially remarkable given that the 22-year-old has only 77 songs in her discography, highlighting her ability to captivate a massive audience with a relatively small — yet quality — body of work. Her success underscores her immense talent and the powerful connection she forges with her fans and audience worldwide with each new release!
