The Weeknd holds a strong edge in the market for the #2 Spotify artist by monthly listeners in November, driven by his current second-place ranking behind Bruno Mars with over 116 million listeners as of mid-month. Sustained catalog streams, combined with Bruno Mars dominating the top spot through hits like “Die With A Smile” and “APT.,” have kept The Weeknd ahead of close contenders such as Rihanna, whose listener count sits just behind. Traders appear to view the gap as stable this early in the month, though chart momentum can shift quickly with new releases or viral tracks from artists like Drake, Taylor Swift, or Bad Bunny. Upcoming weekly updates on daily streams and any late-November drops will serve as key swing factors before the month locks in.
