Taylor Swift is breaking records again… even her own. On Saturday, Spotify shared that 1989 (Taylor’s Version), which dropped on Friday, has become the service’s most single-day streamed album of the year so far, and she is the most streamed artist in a single day as well with the LP’s arrival.
The pop star not only broke those two records, but she also bested herself, breaking her record as the most streamed artist in its first 24 hours of release with her 10th studio album, Midnights, in October 2022. At that time, she beat Bad Bunny’spreviously heldrecord afterUn Verano Sin Tigarnered 183 million streams when it was released in May 2022. She also topped Spotify charts with “Slut!” debuting at Number One in the United States, and “Style (Taylor’s Version)” debuting at Number One globally.
1989 (Taylor’s Version) features freshly recorded new versions of the original album’s 13 songs, alongside three bonus tracks (“Wonderland,” “New Romantics,” “Your Are In Love”) and five previously unreleased “Vault” songs (“Slut!,” “Say Don’t Go,” “Now That We Don’t Talk,” “Suburban Legends,” “Is It Over Now?,”).
This is the second re-recorded album to be released by Swift this year, following the arrival ofSpeak Now (TV) in July. She released new versions ofFearlessandRed in 2021. In between, she droppedMidnights, an album of all new material. Swift has yet to reveal when her final two re-recordings of albums she made while on Big Machine Records — her 2006 eponymous album and2017’s Reputation— will arrive.
