uk666 5,298 Report post Posted April 24, 2018 J. Cole Breaks First Day Streaming Records On Both Spotify And Apple Music 64.5 million streams in just 24 hours J. Cole’s KOD is knocking records out the box. The Fayetteville rapper’s newest LP shattered Apple Music and Spotify’s 24-hour streaming records, according to news reports. KOD was streamed 64.5 million times in its first 24 hours on Apple Music. Meanwhile, it surpassed 36.6 million streams on Spotify. This was enough to shatter both service’s 24-hour streaming records, as per Billboard and Spotify. Apple Music pulled in 66 percent of the first-day streaming market share for KOD in the US, and 60 percent worldwide, continuing its run of major first-week streaming totals when it comes to hip-hop and R&B artists. Somehow Apple Music (which has 120 million fewer users than Spotify) continues to give its top competitor trouble with releases in the world’s most popular genre of music. Spotify confirmed in a tweet that KOD was streamed 36.6 million times in the US in the first 24 hours, where it also broke the record for most first-day streams in the US for an album. With Apple Music expected to pass Spotify in users in the US sometime this summer, it’s likely more and more records will fall as Apple’s growing dominance in the world’s largest music streaming market continues to increase. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
