Ariana Grande Absolutely Crushes Spotify’s 24-Hour Streaming Record with “7 Rings”

News · January 23, 2019

Ariana Grande‘s new song “7 Rings” is making headlines for all sorts of reasons — one being that it absolutely crushed Spotify‘s 24-hour streaming record.

According to stats revealed by Spotify, Ariana’s most recent single racked up nearly 15 million plays on January 18, the day it released. “7 Rings” acquired 14,966,544 global plays in 24 hours to be exact.

The record was previously held by Mariah Carey, who broke through with 10,819,009 streams on Spotify thanks to her classic holiday anthem. “All I Want For Christmas Is You” attracted a big crowd on December 24 of last year, which amounted to total 10,819,009 plays.

So far, no other artist comes close to touching the play power of Ariana’s “7 Rings” — at least within this time span. Her previous single, “thank u, next” is also among the greatest 24-hour record holders on Spotify. Drake, Ed Sheeran, and XXXTentacion are up there as well.
