Playboi Carti Surpasses Drake & Kendrick Lamar With Monster ‘Music’ Streams

Playboi Carti’s new album “Music” has made a significant impact on streaming services, surpassing releases from Drake and Kendrick Lamar. The album garnered 139.3 million first-day streams on Spotify, marking the biggest debut of 2025 and the seventh largest of all time. With more single-day streams than albums from Drake, Travis Scott, and Kendrick Lamar, “Music” has quickly gained attention for its 30-song tracklist and star-studded features. Kendrick Lamar’s appearances on the album, including a verse addressing his beef with Drake, have sparked controversy, with Kanye West publicly expressing his disapproval of Kendrick’s contributions.
