The Creepin singer and co-defendants Nicolas Jaar and Frank Dukes were sued by producers Suniel Fox and Henry Strange in 2021, who claimed the track from the megastar's 2018 debut EP My Dear Melancholy was 'strikingly and/or substantially similar, if not identical' to their unreleased track Vibeking. The report comes after the Canadian artist's Call Out My Name copyright infringement case was settled. It comes after the 33-year-old superstar - whose real name is Abel Tesfaye - trumped Ed Sheeran's Shape Of You after Blinding Lights became the most-streamed song of all time on the streaming platform. Followed by Shakira (81.6 million), Ariana Grande (80.6 million), Taylor Swift (80.2 million), Rihanna (78.5 million), and Ed Sheeran (77.5 million). Miley Cyrus is in second place with 82.4 million monthly listeners.

The Guinness World Records has compiled streaming data from the globe's biggest stars, and the Blinding Lights hitmaker has come out on top with a whopping 111.4 million monthly listeners.

The Weeknd has been crowned the most popular artist on the planet, according to Spotify data.
