Taylor Swift and The Weeknd are the queen and king of Spotify.
Taylor’s upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl has become the most pre-saved album Countdown Page in Spotify history. The page shows how many days, hours, minutes and seconds until the Oct. 3 release of the album, as well as the track listing. The previous record holder? Taylor’s 2024 album The Tortured Poets Department.
Meanwhile, The Weeknd has set a record of his own. He already has more songs that have hit a billion streams on Spotify than any other artist — a total of 28 — but one of them has just achieved a very impressive milestone. The artist’s smash “Blinding Lights” is now the first song in Spotify history ever to hit five billion streams.
