Justin Bieber Reaches Streaming Milestone After Coachella Success

Justin Bieber has continued his streaming dominance following his Coachella 2026 appearance.

Bieber returned to the stage at the iconic California festival last month, and the comeback has paid off handsomely for the US pop star.

As per Rolling Stone, new data shows that Bieber has earned the title as the artist with the most monthly Spotify listeners globally.

Bieber enjoyed an all-time peak in monthly listeners on May 3rd, with over 140.3 million, representing a 42% increase over the past 24 days.

Bieber's climb to the top has been steady.

As of April 9th, just before weekend one of this year's Coachella, Bieber had about 98.8 million monthly listeners on Spotify. By the start of weekend two, he was up to 110.9 million monthly listeners, and three days later, he was at 118.9 million. On April 20th, right after Coachella, Bieber had his biggest streaming day ever on Spotify, with over 105 million streams.

On Spotify, Bieber's music received an incredible 250% increase in streams globally following Coachella.

"U Smile", released in 2010, jumped 600% versus its average totals, while "One Love" (2012) rose by 550%. "Favorite Girl", which Bieber hasn't performed live in over a decade, rose by 310%. "Baby" rose by 170%, perhaps in part due to Geese's notable cover of the hit.

Bieber's newer songs also got a boost, including "I Do" (435% increase), "All I Can" (320% increase), and "Walking Away" (310% increase).

Other Coachella acts have also earned a streaming boost since weekend one of this year's Coachella.

Bieber's fellow headliner Karol G's global streams on Spotify rose by 14.3%, while in the US her streams rose by 35%.

Coachella 2026 was Bieber's first major public performance since his 2022 tour came to an end. He's been mostly absent from the live circuit since then, aside from several private shows and TV slots.

To prepare for his Coachella slot, Bieber took to the stage at the Roxy in Los Angeles for an invite-only event for fans.

Despite being away from the live circuit, Bieber enjoyed chart success in Australia last year.

Bieber collected his ninth ARIA No. 1 with “Daisies” (via Def Jam/Universal), which topped the ARIA Singles Chart in July.
