Taylor Swift’s ‘Midnights’ Crosses Over 6.5 billion Streams On Spotify, Becomes Fastest Female Artist To Achieve It

1 years ago By Movies Desk

In the ever-evolving realm of music, Taylor Swift is an enigma, a force to be reckoned with. At just 33 years old, she stands as one of the most influential and successful female artists of all time. Her album release last year, “Midnights,” has not only reaffirmed her reign, but has also shattered records, making her the fastest female artist to hit a whopping 6.5 billion streams on Spotify. So, as we dive into the whirlwind world of Taylor Swift, let’s uncover the incredible numbers that define her journey.

Taylor Swift’s Chart-Topping Career in Numbers:

From 42 Million Units to 6.5 Billion Streams

Taylor Swift’s journey began with five studio albums and a Christmas EP that collectively amassed a staggering 42 million units sold. But what’s even more remarkable is that each of her studio albums, up to “1989,” crossed the 6 million mark, despite Europe’s comparatively lower sales. Her sales have been predominantly driven by the U.S., accounting for over 70% of her total sales. However, the success of “1989” expanded her reach, selling over 4 million units abroad, excluding Chinese downloads.

Streaming Era Triumph

As the music industry transitioned into the streaming era, Taylor Swift adapted seamlessly. Her last five albums, including “Midnights,” were released during the streaming era and achieved outstanding numbers, despite the challenges. Notably, “Folklore,” “Evermore,” and “Midnights” are among the top 5 selling female albums in the U.S. over the past seven years. “Midnights” even nearly matched the sales of “reputation,” an extraordinary feat considering the evolving market conditions.

Mastering the Art of Merchandise

Taylor Swift has tapped into the Asian industry’s strategies for selling physical products, offering her fans an array of collectors through her website. While “Evermore” performed slightly less than her other recent albums, it still boasts an impressive 1.7 million units, contributing to her studio albums’ cumulative total of 56.4 million units.

Digital Dominance

In the digital realm, Taylor Swift is a titan, with a staggering 162 million units sold in downloads and ringtones combined. Her traditional release of “Midnights” and its lead single, “Anti-Hero,” demonstrated her continued ability to move significant units in downloads, even in markets where the format has declined. “Anti-Hero” alone closed in on 700,000 units, making it the top seller in the U.S. format in 2022.

The Triumph of “Midnights” on Spotify:

“Midnights” Shatters Spotify Records

Now, let’s talk about “Midnights.” This album marked its territory on Spotify in a way that can only be described as historic. It debuted as the most-streamed album of all time on Spotify, amassing over 776 million streams on day one and never losing momentum. The lead single, “Anti-Hero,” swiftly made its way into her top 10 in less than a year, cementing her status as a streaming sensation.

Past Hits Still Sizzling

Taylor Swift’s past hits, too, continue to make waves on Spotify. An impressive 14 of her tracks have already exceeded 400 million streams, with “Blank Space” leading the pack at a jaw-dropping 1.3 billion streams. “Shake It Off” and “Wildest Dreams” reaffirm the dominance of the “1989” era, placing three hits in her top 5, each accumulating over 1.6 million equivalent album sales from streams.

Streaming Dominance Across Albums

“Midnights” joins the ranks of her other albums, with a staggering 7 million streams, while “Lover” isn’t far behind at just below that mark. “Reputation” stands tall at 7.5 million, “Fearless” at 6.6 million, and “folklore” at 6.5 million. Incredibly, every album from “Fearless” to “Midnights” crosses the 4 million stream mark, making it a remarkable streak of nine consecutive albums.

“Midnights” Breaks Records

“Midnights” doesn’t stop at just streaming dominance. With 11,236,000 equivalent album sales, it secures its position as the second most successful album of 2022.
