Over the years, fans have watched Taylor Swift climb her way up the ladder of success. From feuds with stars like Kanye West to her complete change in attitude for her ‘reputation’ era, the singer has continuously managed to surprise her fans. Recently, the world has been able to see  Taylor Swift take over Spotify with her record-breaking streaming success. However, there is another music phenomenon that has broken a record that pop sensation has not reached as of yet.

While Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift may have broken into the music scene at relatively the same time, the Canadian-born musician has managed to keep up his fame and success.

Justin Bieber breaks a Spotify record again

In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), it was revealed that another one of Justin Bieber’s tracks, ‘What Do You Mean?’ had reached 1.5 billion streams on Spotify. While that has to be a celebration within itself, it was not his first time. Instead, it was the fifteenth time that the singer had one of his songs cross the billion mark. Although it seems to have been easy for him, that has not been the case for everyone, including Taylor Swift.

Swift might have had her ‘Cruel Summer’ recently join the ranks of Spotify’s Billion Club playlist. However, she has not managed to reach the ‘Baby’ singer’s level of success as of yet. Although she has constantly been selling out shows and giving her fans everything they want and more, the pop sensation has had only nine of her songs end up on the list so far.

While the ‘Midnights’ singer might not have kept up with Justin Bieber’s Billions Club’s numbers, she did end up dominating the streaming service this year.

Taylor Swift’s Spotify rule

This year, the world watched as Taylor Swift and her army of Swifties took over. From concerts to films and hopes for new releases, the recently turned 34-year-old gave her fans everything they hoped for. In return, they seem to have gotten her on top of Spotify’s streaming list with 26.1 billion streams since January 1st, 2023. She even ended up being named their most-streamed artist globally.

Her reign did not stop there. With the singer topping almost everyone’s Spotify Wrapped for the year, she ended up recording a special message for her fans. After the news of her Spotify domination broke, Apple, Vevo, and more followed suit in releasing their records for the year.
