Streaming songs is the new norm today, and somehow, it provides a window to an artist’s success. Recently, BuzzingPop shared a rumor on X/Twitter that Ariana Grande became the first female singer to have 22 songs surpass 1 billion Spotify streams.

This isn’t surprising at all—Grande has amassed millions of fans around the world, has two Grammy Awards under her belt, countless songs and albums, and she’s currently starring in the Wicked movie franchise.
Meanwhile, some fans believe Taylor Swift has already achieved this, while others think she will snatch the title from Grande very soon.
Ariana Grande & Taylor Swift Tie With 21 Songs Hitting 1 Billion Streams
As per Grande’s Spotify record, she currently has 21 songs that have surpassed 1 billion streams, with 7 rings at the top, earning 2.6 billion streams.
At the moment, her last song to cross the threshold is Problem, with 1 billion streams, as of November 8, 2025. Grande’s collaboration with Social House, boyfriend, is at No. 22 and yet to cross the 1 billion mark.
On the other hand, Swift’s Cruel Summer garnered 3.1 billion streams, stealing the top spot. Her last song to hit the one billion mark was exile (feat. Bon Iver). You Belong With Me (Taylor’s Version) stands at No. 22 and is yet to cross the threshold.
Now, looking closely at those figures, Grande has more chances of bagging the streaming queen title, as Swifties would have to stream harder in the next few days.
