Olivia Rodrigo has made history with her album SOUR becoming the first to surpass 14 billion streams on Spotify. The musician, 21, has beat out the likes of Taylor Swift and Beyonce with her debut album becoming the all-time highest streaming album by a female artist on Spotify.
Released on May 21 2021, debut album SOUR was the most streamed LP of the year, breaking records as the most-streamed album in a week by a female artist in Spotify history – amassing over 385 million global streams in that time. In the years following, the album – which includes hit songs Drivers License and Deja Vu – has continued to build momentum.
