His hit “Blinding Lights” became the first Spotify track to surpass 5 billion streams in August last year and was listed in the Guinness World Records. In 2023, he surpassed 100 million monthly listeners for the first time on Spotify, and his album “Hurry Up Tomorrow,” released last year, also debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart in its first week. In addition, he has won the Grammy Award for Best Urban Contemporary Album and continues to record strong performance in the global music market.
