Taylor Swift continues to make huge waves with her newest album “The Life of a Showgirl.”
On the day of its release, “The Life of a Showgirl” became the most-streamed album in a single day in 2025 on Spotify so far, doing so in less than 12 hours.
Meanwhile, lead single “The Fate of Ophelia” became the most-streamed song in a single day in the platform’s history.
The latter record was previously held by Taylor herself through “Fortnight” with Post Malone from her “The Tortured Poets Department” album last year, which had been streamed more than 25 million times in one day – breaking the three-year record held by Adele’s “Easy On Me.”
Not only did “The Life of a Showgirl” top Spotify’s Top Albums Debut Global chart, the ten spots of the platform’s Top Song Debut Global chart were claimed by tracks from the album.
The two songs that missed the cut from the 12-track album were “Ruin the Friendship” and “Honey,” but all 12 songs are expected to dominate the Billboard Top 100 once that chart refreshes for a new week.
“The Fate of Ophelia” broke yet another Spotify record last October 9 by becoming the most-streamed song in a single week in the platform’s history, with an extra day to spare to complete the whole week.
The previous holder of the latter record was Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers,” which earned 101,838,799 streams in its debut, the first song to reach a hundred million streams faster than any other song.
Before that it was BTS’ “Butter” which 99.37 million stream in its first week, then hit a hundred million on its eighth day.
