Taylor Swift’s “Midnights” is proving to be both a streaming and sales monster.
In a 6:14PM ET Tweet, Spotify confirmed that “Midnights” already broken the platform’s record as the most-streamed album in a single day. Spotify did not share the specific number, but individual track streaming data should be available Saturday morning.
Based on pre-order and early sales data, Hits Daily Double also gives “Midnights” a good shot of breaking the record for single-week US vinyl sales. Harry Styles’ “Harry’s House” currently holds said high mark; it sold 182K US vinyl copies in its first week.
Given the impressive streaming and sales figures, it should come as no surprise that “Midnights” is headed for a massive opening week US unit total. Although Hits did not yet share a firm projection, it notes that the album could surpass the 839K mark achieved by Adele’s “30” — and thus deliver the biggest opening since Billboard revised its rules for including bundles in the opening week sales total.
