Pop star Taylor Swift is on a record-breaking spree this year. After entering the billionaire list, the American singer-songwriter has now shattered her own record with her latest remade LP 1989 (Taylor’s Version) becoming the most-streamed record on Spotify just a day after its release.

According to Spotify, Swift also became the most-streamed artiste in a single day. This new rendition of her album 1989, which includes new tracks, quickly surpassed her previous release Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) by a quick margin as it had taken the former a couple of days to reach the top spot. The music platform did not release the overall numbers for the album or Swift’s total as an artiste, as is its custom when announcing records being broken.
But the company did say that the new Vault track (a previously unreleased track now released) Slut! (Taylor’s Version) debuted in the US at No 1 with 5.2 million streams, and globally with 11.3 million streams. On the global chart, meanwhile, a non-Vault track, Style (Taylor’s Version), slipped just slightly ahead of Slut!, debuting with 11.6 million streams, according to Variety.
