Taylor with 228M on 10/21/2022

 

(3rd place is also Taylor with 209M on 7/7/2023) 

[wastedpotential]

The way this is the equivalent of like 4/5 of the entire US population streaming one Taylor song each 

 

For all the American girls out there, put this into perspective as 4 in every 5 people you know (and 4 in every 5 people they know; and on and on) streaming one Taylor song each 

 

The one song I streamed was Cowboy Like Me

Does anyone knows the numbers for the other female artists? I'm curious to see how big the difference is.

[Dear Reader]

Are they sure these are Global numbers and not Local numbers?

 

 

I think Louvre numbers might be missing.

I'd guess probably Thank U Next release day or maybe Rihanna's Super Bowl, but I'm not sure

that makes 84M from the rest of her catalogue, only 16M less than the day before

I'm really confused because we are told repeatedly that she's fanbase driven, how's that possible when fans didn't stream anything other that the new album?

I meant how many streams other female artists had yesterday, not overall bigger day.

i just know the OTH are seething

Ohhhh got it. I haven't seen that published anywhere yet, but Lana was probably second and Karol G third like they have been for the past month

So she literally more than doubled the best day of the next closest female.

 

The chokehold 

[Fifteen]

crazy numbers

[Valentine]

The way her music being ‘stolen’ was the best thing to ever happen to her

Oh, more than that. I don't think another female has ever done over 100M (hell, I'm not sure if another female has done over 80M )

People can deny her power all they want, but things like this make it obvious that she's a unique, one-of-a-kind phenomenon. The music industry is forever transformed by her presence.

Especially for female artists. I genuinely believe no other female artist EVER had a year as big as 2023 has been for Taylor
