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.

After years of speculation, leaks, and cryptic teases, Playboi Carti surprised fans this past Friday with the long-awaited album Music. The artist clearly wasn’t wasting time in the studio—this project spans 30 tracks with a total runtime of 76 minutes.

Playboi Carti’s newly released album MUSIC has broken Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day record for 2025 so far. “Carti’s MUSIC is already making history,” Spotify said in a post on X/Twitter announcing the stat.

After years of anticipation, and weeks of hype, Playboi Carti's third album "Music" finally arrived. It is the rapper's first album since "Whole Lotta Red" came out in 2020. In the world of hip hop, that's a pretty lengthy space between albums.
