Indian playback sensation Arijit Singh has overtaken global superstars Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran to become the most-followed artist on Spotify, boasting an impressive 150.4 million followers as of June 2025. This milestone solidifies his status as the top male artist on the platform, with Swift holding the highest female-follower count at 139.3 million.

Singh’s remarkable rise reflects his sustained global appeal, drawing fans with soulful Bollywood ballads and emotional depth. He’s been Spotify's most-streamed Indian artist for five consecutive years (2020–2024) and was recently honored with the Padma Shri in 2025.

The milestone also coincides with a historic upcoming performance: in September 2025, Arijit will become the first Indian musician to headline a UK stadium concert, performing at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium—an iconic venue that has hosted Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar.
