Beyonce’s New Album Sets New Record On Spotify

Beyoncé’s new album, Cowboy Carter, has become Spotify’s most-streamed album of 2024.

This is coming just after its release on Friday, March 30, and fans have been reacting.

“Cowboy Carter” was streamed 76.13 million times after it was dropped on Spotify on Friday, and this is way higher than what her last album “Renaissance” did on Spotify in just a single day, which was about 43 million streams at the time.

Even before “Cowboy Carter” dropped, Bey’s single “Texas Hold ‘Em” had already been streamed over 200 million times.

WOW.
