To no surprise Drake’s More Life had a big debut.
Look for his latest “playlist” to land at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart next week with 500,000 equivalent album units sold. More importantly, it’s off to a record-breaking start at Apple Music and Spotify.
More Life’s songs collected 89.9 million streams globally in the album’s first 24 hours of release on Apple Music. That’s a new single-day record for streams of songs from an album on Apple Music.
Meanwhile, Spotify reports that on More Life’s first full day of release, it generated the best first-day streams for an album on the service: The set’s songs collected 61.3 million global streams. That beats the previous record holder, Ed Sheeran’s ÷ (Divide), which generated 56.7 million streams for its songs on March 3.
In addition, Drake set a new record for the most streams for an artist in a single day on Spotify: 76.4 million streams on March 19.
