K-Pop Fans Stunned By The Groups With The Most Listeners On Spotify Right Now
With the increasing popularity of K-Pop, songs released by the most popular artists can get high stream and view numbers in a short period of time these days. And with Spotify being one of the most-used music streaming apps, the data collected from it can give us a look at which K-Pop artists are performing the best at any period of time.
One piece of data that fluctuates regularly are the number of monthly listeners that artists have on the platform. Different than followers, which tends to stay more consistent over time, monthly followers update each day to show how many people have listened to the artist within the last month.
Recently, the nine K-Pop artists with the most monthly listeners was discussed on a post on an online forum, due to a graphic being released of the data. The number of followers that each of these nine groups have is nothing short of impressive, especially given the young age of some of them!
BTS, unsurprisingly, maintains their place at the top of the K-Pop industry, with 45.8 million monthly listeners. Not too far behind them, though, is FIFTY FIFTY, whose major hit “Cupid” has skyrocketed their popularity in the industry! They currently have about 37.6 million monthly listeners.
BLACKPINK comes in third with 34.1 million listeners, while monster rookies NewJeans placed fourth with 22.3 million. TWICE continue to be a powerhouse in the K-Pop world with 12.8 million monthly listeners, while the quickly popular IVE ranks sixth with 11.7 million.
Finally, seventh goes to fellow rookie girl group LE SSERAFIM with 11.5 million listeners, eighth to (G)I-DLE with 10.0 million, and finally TXT is one of the two boy groups on the list with 9.5 million.
Here’s how K-Pop fans are reacting to the impressive numbers, shared in the comments of the forum post.
These numbers will likely continue to go up as the K-Pop music genre becomes more popular worldwide, and it will be interesting to see how the most-listened-to artists change over time.
