So far, the ‘Starboy’ album has generated 448.5m streams on Spotify. (This 32.8m figure does not include streams from his previous albums, but they would have contributed to whatever the new record for an artist’s daily plays on Spotify is.) Since Spotify publishes the daily plays for each track on the chart, we can tell you that The Weeknd’s 18 tracks are currently recording 32.8m daily streams on the service, from its most popular track Starboy’s 5m daily plays to 50th-ranked Ordinary Life’s 1m. We’ve been running our own calculations though, which show just how popular The Weeknd – fuelled by the release of his latest album ‘Starboy’ – is on the streaming service.Īt the time of writing on 29 November, all 18 tracks on ‘Starboy’ are in Spotify’s Global Top 50 chart, meaning the album accounts for more than a third of that list of the most popular songs on the streaming service. How many streams is that? With Amazon-grade statistical unhelpfulness, Spotify isn’t saying. The Weeknd has broken Spotify’s record for the most daily streams by a single artist.
