This achievement surpasses previous record-holder Ariana Grande, who had claimed the title from Taylor Swift in December. Billie Eilish now stands as the second-highest female artist, approximately 16 million monthly listeners behind Gaga.

Gaga's record-breaking success coincides with her recent hit "Die With a Smile," a collaboration with Bruno Mars that dominated the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks before settling at No. 4. Her solo release "Abracadabra" has also performed strongly, reaching No. 29 on the Hot 100 and claiming the top position on Billboard's Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart.

Both songs will appear on Gaga's upcoming album "Mayhem," scheduled for release on March 7 through Interscope. Adding to her momentum, Gaga is set to both host and perform as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live's March 8 episode. She recently participated in SNL's 50th-anniversary celebration, performing "Dick in a Box" with Andy Samberg and delivering a solo rendition of "Shallow" from "A Star Is Born."
