Adele did get more streams than Katy, but that email was indeed fake. Somehow, it went viral.

Yeah. Until it's proven otherwise, I'm much more willing to believe Adele still holds the record. It makes a lot more sense given her debut positions as well as numbers.

But that still doesn't explain why she obviously performed relative poorly here in the US and still managed to get "record" first day streaming. Adele is from the UK, and she did 1.3-1.4 M in the US her first day. This is well above Katy, who is obviously from the US. I'm not trying to shade Katy. I'm just questioning the source saying she outdid Adele when the main Spotify sources on record show otherwise.

You are right– the sources have no merit. Spotify's own charts show that Adele debuted with more than Katy.

I don't believe Katy holds the record tbh.  It's just strange that people were reporting that she was and even had figures to support their claim. But I'm sure it'll be clarified eventually. Adele still holds the record in my eyes.

But I have no idea how anyone at Spotify could be so oblivious to send out a press release saying that Katy broke the record. I don't see how that can happen. It's completely inexcusable.

Could the press release also be fake?

Yeah, it's quite worrying. I know there's the Spotify-Katy partnership but surely they wouldn't lie to make it look like the partnership was more fruitful than it actually was. Numbers don't lie.

I don't know if there actually was a press release. But somehow, Spotify communicated that info to HDD (otherwise, HDD wouldn't have posted their story about it). And I don't know why whoever sent that info did so or how they were allowed to.

Part of me wants to believe that everyone access that date crashed it, the other half of me wants to believe that they're trying to pull an Alternative Facts™.

Spotify's taking forever to update too. I don't want to lose trust in their numbers now.

iirc, HDD backtracked. There's no way she broke any record. Adele's numbers are still huge for 2017

Hello was released on 10/23. Anyway, I downloaded the archive from 10/20-10/25 and before Hello was released, it shows the #1 position but from 10/23-10/24 Adele is excluded from the list.  If that isn't a glitch and they got some cash for a record headline.. 

#2 was at 3.1M on 10/23, so obviously Adele had more streams. 

Well, it's clearly something is off.
