Drake - Scorpion Cover via OVO Sound
Drake’s “Scorpion” had a predictably mammoth first day on the US Spotify service.
Tracks from the album occupy the Top 23 positions on the daily US Spotify chart for Friday. The other tracks from the album are not far behind: “March 14” takes #26, while “Final Fantasy” earns #27.
“Nonstop” predictably takes #1 with what Spotifycharts reports as 5.75 million US streams. That represents a new record for a single day.
“Survival” (#2, 5.22 million), “Emotionless” (#3, 4.84 million), “Elevate” (#4, 4.69 million), and “8 Out Of 10” (#5, 4.17 million) also had mammoth days on the US service.
Given its similarly strong performance on Apple Music, “Scorpion” remains a safe bet to break the opening week US streaming record. That record of 431 million currently belongs to Post Malone’s “Beerbongs & Bentleys.”
— Not simply successful on the US service, “Scorpion” also had a dominant first day globally.
Tracks from the album occupy the Top 12 slots on the daily global chart, and none appears below #41.
“Nonstop” leads the way globally as well; it is credited with 9.30 million opening day streams.
