Taylor Swift now holds the top three positions for the most streams in a single week on Spotify, as her latest album lands in second place.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Taylor Swift’s<\/strong> eleventh studio album THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT<\/em> is still Spotify’s most streamed album in a week. This album is the first and only album in Spotify history to hit one billion streams in a single week. This includes streams on the 31-track “Anthology” edition. Prior to the release, the most streamed album in a single week was Taylor Swift’s<\/strong> previous studio album Midnights<\/em>, which now sits at number three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This comes after the album broke the record for the most streams in a single day<\/a> on Spotify, at over 300 million.<\/a> On release day, Taylor Swift<\/strong> also became the most-streamed artist in a single day in Spotify history, breaking her previous record achieved in October last year, with the release of 1989 (Taylor’s Version)<\/em>. As if that wasn’t enough, Spotify has also revealed THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT<\/em> was the most pre-saved album Countdown Page in their history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since we last updated this list, Taylor Swift<\/strong> dropped her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl<\/em>, which gained 887 million streams in its first week, making it Spotify’s second most popular on this list. While it may come as a surprise that it didn’t top her previous album THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT<\/em>, you need to consider the streams are based on the total number of streams across all of the 12 tracks on The Life of a Showgirl<\/em>, versus the 31 tracks on THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT<\/em>. The release of The Life of a Showgirl<\/em> saw the lead track, The Fate of Ophelia<\/em>, break a record for the most-streamed song in a single day on Spotify,<\/a> surpassing 30 million streams and breaking her previous record with Fortnight<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new entry pushed UTOPIA<\/em> by Travis Scott<\/strong> to position eleven and out of the top ten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other notable artists include Bad Bunny<\/strong> and Drake<\/strong>, who have three and two albums repectively on the top ten list. The oldest album on the list below is Scorpion<\/em> from Drake<\/strong>, which was release back in June 2018 and held the record for the most streamed album in a week for almost four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
