Ariana Grande’s Spotify monthly listeners climbed steadily through August 2026 after the July 31 release of her eighth studio album *Petal*, which debuted with over 62 million first-day streams and saw every track chart globally. The project and its lead single “hate that i made you love me” sustained gains alongside catalog staples, pushing counts from the mid-90 millions into the low 100 millions by mid-month amid ongoing *Eternal Sunshine* tour dates at London’s O2 Arena. Traders tracked daily listener growth of 40,000–50,000 against typical post-debut cooldown patterns and competition from other major pop releases, with the final London shows and chart updates serving as the last catalysts before the August 31 cutoff.
