Overview
- Drake’s new album Iceman logged 140.2 million Spotify plays in its first 24 hours, the highest single‑day album total reported for 2026.
- The three‑album drop helped Drake exceed 250 million Spotify streams in one day, making him 2026’s most‑streamed artist for a single day.
- Spotify first credited Drake’s “Make Them Cry” with the year’s biggest song debut, then reversed after finding a manual review had combined two different tracks.
- The platform now says BTS’s “Swim” remains 2026’s top single‑day song debut with about 14.64 million plays.
- BTS fans and independent chart trackers flagged the discrepancy within hours, prompting Spotify’s apology and new review steps to prevent similar errors.
