Olivia Rodrigo has knocked Taylor Swift off her pedestal to take the top spot for the most streamed album by a female artist on Spotify.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Olivia Rodrigo<\/a> officially holds the title for the most streamed Spotify<\/a> album by a female artist. Rodrigo’s 2021 album ‘Sour<\/a>‘ has been streamed an astonishing 12.32 billion times and counting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With an average of 1.12 billion plays per song, Rodrigo’s record takes the top spot from Spotify queen Taylor Swift<\/a>. Her song ‘Drivers License’ has earned an astonishing 2.16 billion streams alone. In the three years since the album has released, Sour is still gaining listeners and streams every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The claim comes from Rodrigo herself, who announced at a performance in London: “I found out the other day, which is pretty cool, that it is the most streamed album by a female artist on Spotify.” She goes on to thank her fans, saying: “That is literally all because of you. I cannot thank you guys enough.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talking about ‘Sour’, Rodrigo writes: “That album is just very near and dear to my hear. I made it in my bedroom and my producer’s garage, and I had no expectation of anyone other than my mom and my closest friends listening to it. But as it turns out, lots of people related to the feelings that I was talking about on that album.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst Rodrigo has taken the top spot for a single album’s streams by a female artist, Taylor Swift remains the platform’s top artists. The last time we counted<\/a>, Swift had amassed a whopping 77 billion streams across her songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
