Taylor Swift’s The Life of A Showgirl has officially set a new Spotify record for the highest average streams per track in history.
Taylor Swift just keeps breaking her own records. Her new album, The Life of A Showgirl, has officially earned the highest average streams per track for any album debut in Spotify history, surpassing her previous record held by The Tortured Poets Department. It’s yet another reminder that when Taylor drops, the world stops — and listens.
In its first 24 hours, The Life of A Showgirl racked up a jaw-dropping 249.99 million first-day global streams on Spotify, making it the second-biggest album debut ever on the platform. The only project ahead of it? None other than Taylor’s own The Tortured Poets Department, which still reigns supreme with 314 million first-day streams. No other artist has ever come close to owning the top two spots like this — and she’s not done yet.
With The Life of A Showgirl, Taylor now officially holds the top four biggest album debuts in Spotify history, an unprecedented achievement. The rankings stand as follows: #1 The Tortured Poets Department (314M), #2 The Life of A Showgirl (250M), #3 Midnights (186M), and #4 1989 (Taylor’s Version) (176M). That’s not just dominance — that’s a monopoly on the streaming era.
At this point, it’s safe to say Taylor Swift is competing with no one but herself. Whether it’s pop, folk, or country nostalgia with a cinematic twist, she continues to set — and break — her own records.
