Playboi Carti came to play with his new album Music. On Friday, the same day the rapper dropped his long-awaited third studio album, he also broke a Spotify record. The audio streaming giant shared on Saturday that Music became Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day in 2025 so far.

The streamer took to X to announce that on March 14, I AM MUSIC became Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day in 2025 so far. No additional details, including the specific number of streams, were provided. “Carti’s MUSIC is already making history,” Spotify wrote.

Rage rap meets a soulful sample. There are times when clashing aesthetics and opposites attract, but this isn’t one, as Swamp Izzo’s tag feels overbearing. Carti touches on substance abuse, from using pills to ketamine, and even compares himself to Young Thug. “OPM Babi” could’ve been taken to another level. — MICHAEL SAPONARA
