Dua Lipa has the most monthly listeners among female artists (65.5 million), seconded by Doja Cat with 60.84 million listeners.
Achievements: His song 'Stay' is doing exceptionally well
Of course, the 27-year-old crooner's recent collaborations and releases have enjoyed success, which led to this feat.

As per Billboard, it topped the Billboard Global 200 chart for the consecutive fourth week.
Information: Ariana Grande held the previous record at about 82 million
The Peaches crooner's latest album Justice is also performing great on the charts.
