The Weeknd makes history with six songs surpassing 2 billion streams on Spotify—fans react hilariously: ‘Big boy!’

The Weeknd is in his record-breaking era again. The Canadian singer just became the first artist in history to have six songs surpass 2 billion streams each on Spotify. At this point, breaking records is just another day at the office for him.

With a mix of hypnotic beats, melancholic lyrics, and a voice that could make even a robot show emotions, He sealed his deal as one of the most streamed artists ever. As fans celebrated the latest achievement from their favorite celebrity, social media turned it into what it does best-pure comedy.

The Weeknd’s Viral Record-Breaking Moment

When the news dropped, pop culture pages on X (formerly Twitter) quickly spread the word. The original post was straightforward: The Weeknd now has six songs with over 2 billion streams each. No fluff, no extra details just cold, hard history in the making.

But true to form, the responses went ahead to turn this into a cacophonous admiration, sarcasm, and outright trolling. In place of thoughtful explorations into his discography or his effect on the industry were jokes, side-eyes, and wild theories as to why his numbers read as such.

One person summed up the streaming era perfectly: “Every day I see an artist breaking a record lol.”

Because, honestly, between Taylor Swift, Drake, and now The Weeknd, records are falling faster than our will to go to the gym.

Then there’s the vocal critique. “His vocals seem quite whiny,” one person wrote.

Love it or hate it, The Weeknd’s signature high-pitched, emotionally charged singing is unmistakable. It’s also what made "Blinding Lights" the most-streamed song in Spotify history, so clearly, someone out there is feeling it.

Of course, someone had to make the most obvious (and funniest) joke about his stage name: “I have always wondered if he also works during the week.” A classic. It never gets old.

Then came the MVP of the comment section: “Big boy!” Simple. Effective. Iconic. No one knows exactly what it means in this context, but it just feels right.

Someone else had a more, uh, interesting theory on how The Weeknd’s streams got so high: “They just play his shit on repeat at Six Flags.” Honestly? Not impossible. Theme parks, radio stations, grocery stores—his music follows you everywhere.

And finally, the obligatory Selena Gomez reference: “Got the real reason why Selena crying.”

Because apparently, you can’t mention The Weeknd without someone bringing up his ex. The internet never forgets.

This sets him in the annals of music history, which is nothing but impressive. However, what made this milestone extra special was the celebration: endless memes, jokes, and hilarious fan reactions.

As his music has continued to dominate the charts, it's clear the internet will always find a way to inject humor into the mix. From playful critiques of his vocals to jokes about his name, the trend with which this achievement has been embraced by fans serves as a reminder that sometimes humor can be just as integral a part of pop culture as the music itself.

The more streams he receives, the more memes, theories, and viral moments will arise, and with it, this digital age, breaking the internet somewhat correlates to breaking records. Here's to more records, more jokes, and reasons to keep hitting "repeat" of his tracks.
