The Weeknd has reclaimed his title from Billie Eilish as the top-streamed artist on Spotify (with 108,729,371 monthly listeners as of this writing).

The artist born Abel Tesfaye is no stranger to these impressive numbers, and as a welcome back to the Spotify throne, it is no surprise that he has become the first artist to have 18 songs reach over one billion streams each.

Tesfaye's 2020 hit "Blinding Lights," which was the first song to surpass four billion streams on Spotify, is followed by other standouts from his discography, including "Starboy," "The Hills," and "Die for You."

Here are the Weekend's songs that have achieved over one billion streams each:

1. Blinding Lights
2. Starboy
3. The Hills
4. Die for You
5. Save Your Tears
6. Call Out My Name
7. I Feel It Coming
8. Can't Feel My Face
9. Earned It
10. Save Your Tears (Remix) (feat. Ariana Grande)
11. Creepin'
12. Stargirl Interlude (feat. Lana Del Rey)
13. Reminder
14. I Was Never There
15. One of the Girls
16. Often
17. Heartless
18. After Hours

Earlier this month, the artist released the iPhone-shot music video for "Dancing in the Flames," a first taste for his forthcoming album Hurry Up Tomorrow, the third and final instalment to the After Hours/Dawn FM trilogy. Hurry Up Tomorrow has yet to receive a release date.
