Sabrina Carpenter’s “Man’s Best Friend” scores Spotify records on release day
“Man’s Best Friend” by Sabrina Carpenter earns the most streams in a single day on Spotify by a female artist in 2025.
Last Friday saw the release of American pop singer Sabrina Carpenter’s seventh studio album – Man’s Best Friend. Spotify has announced that the album earned the title of the most streamed album in a single day by a female artist in 2025 on the streaming service. With 64.4 million streams on release day, this album earned more excitement than the release of her previous album from last year – Short n’ Sweet, which scored 57 million first-day streams.
After the album’s cover artwork dropped earlier this year, social media erupted with claims of it “appealing to the male gaze in a detrimental manner to women, while others saw it as satire and a way to challenge misogynistic expectations of women’s sexual behavior.” Seemingly there’s no such thing as bad press, as despite the controversy, the album was propelled to success.
The second single Tears released on the album’s release day and earned 9.2 million first-day streams, making it the biggest single for a female artist on Spotify in 2025. In fact, every track from the album landed on Spotify’s Top 20 Global chart.
Here you can find the full up-to-date top 10 list of the most streamed albums in the first-day, currently topped by last year’s The Tortured Poets Department from Taylor Swift with a whopping 313.7 million streams. Only time will tell if Swift can replace herself with the upcoming release of The Life of a Showgirl.
