Playboi Carti’s New Album ‘Music’ Breaks Spotify Record

by

Playboi Carti came to play with his new album Music.

On Friday, the same day the rapper dropped his long-awaited third studio album, he also broke a Spotify record. The audio streaming giant shared on Saturday that Music became Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day in 2025 so far.

“Carti’s MUSIC is already making history,” Spotify wrote on its official Instagram account.

Music comes five years after Carti released his second studio album, Whole Lotta Red, in 2020. Leading up to its release on Friday, the rapper had been teasing fans for months, including with Spotify’s help. The music streamer put up billboards across Los Angeles, New York City and Miami with both the album title and lyrics, such as “STREETS READY,” “I AM MUSIC MF” and “SORRY4 DA WAIT.”

The collection boasts a 30-track playlist and musical partnerships with artists such as The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Future, Young Thug, Lil Uzi Vert, and Kendrick Lamar. Some of the song titles are “Pop Out,” “Radar,” “Backd00r,” “Fine Shit,” “I Seeeeee You Baby Boi,” “Like Weezy,” “Good Credit,” and “Cocaine Nose.

It has been several months since the rapper released his last single, “All Red,” back in September of last year. That song climbed to No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and even reached No. 3 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

So far, 2025 has been a good year for Carti as he also earned his first Grammy nomination for best rap song for his contribution to “Carnival” by Ye, Ty Dolla $ign, Rich the Kid & Carti. Lamar ultimately won the Grammy for “Not Like Us” at the February ceremony.
