Drake smashes Apple Music & Spotify streaming records with "More Life"

Great news for Drake. The singer’s "More Life" had a record-breaking start at Apple Music and Spotify.

"More Life"’s songs collected an amazing 89.9 million streams globally in the album’s first 24 hours of release on Apple Music: a new single-day record for streams of songs from an album on Apple Music.

Further, Spotify reports that on "More Life"’s first full day of release, March 19, it generated the best first-day streams for an album on the service: the set’s songs collected 61.3 million global streams. That beats the previous record holder, Ed Sheeran’s " ("Divide"), which generated 56.7 million streams for its songs on March 3 (the day "÷" was released).
