Taylor Swift Breaks Staggering Record With 'Tortured Poets' [View all]
Taylor Swift is no stranger to breaking records, but she's managed to outdo even herself with her latest album The Tortured Poets Department (TTPD). Swift, 34, dropped the surprise double album on Friday after announcing it during a Grammys acceptance speech in February.
Within hours, TTPD started smashing streaming records, including becoming Spotify's most streamed album in one day. TTPD got 300 million streams in a 24-hour period, Spotify revealed on its social media. This broke the previous record which Swift also held with her album Midnights which achieved the feat of 185 million listens in a day.
Swift's record-breaking with TTPD did not stop at just album streams. Her song "Fortnight" featuring the rapper Post Malone set the record as the most-streamed song in a single day. Prior to its release TTPD was breaking records, including the most pre-saved album on Countdown Pages, a Spotify feature which allows users to preview track lists before an album release.
Swift also took the title for the biggest pop album of all time by first-day streams on Apple Music and also most-streamed album on its first day alone on Amazon Music.
