Indian singer Arijit Singh has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the most-followed artist on Spotify, surpassing Taylor Swift. Singh now leads with 117.2 million followers, just ahead of Swift's 117.18 million. Despite this, Swift continues to lead in monthly listeners. Ed Sheeran ranks third with 115.01 million followers, followed by Ariana Grande and Billie Eilish.

Singh's ascent to the top underscores his global appeal and the growing recognition of Indian artists in the music industry. Singh previously held the top spot briefly last August. His success reflects both his widespread popularity and the increasing influence of Indian music on the international stage. A R Rahman also remains a notable Indian artist on Spotify, holding a position in the top 20 with 49 million followers.
