Beyoncé‘s new album is a hit on streaming services, including perhaps the most important one out there … snagging a day-of record for 2024 thus far, pretty darn impressive.
The singer’s latest project, “Cowboy Carter,” became Spotify’s most-streamed album of 2024 in just a single day since its release on Friday … and the numbers are out of this world. Per streaming data, ‘CC’ was streamed 76.13 million times since it dropped on Spotify.
Beyoncé’s #COWBOYCARTER debuts on @Spotify w/ a whopping 76.13 MILLION streams. Put into context, that’s:
– nearly double act i’s debut (43.2M)
– the biggest debut of 2024 by nearly 30%
– the biggest debut by a Black female artist EVER
– the 6th highest female debut of ALL TIME pic.twitter.com/9yeowYATIm— BEYONCÉ LEGION 𐚁 (@BeyLegion) March 30, 2024

That’s way higher than what her last album “Renaissance” did on Spotify in just a single day — about 43 million streams at the time — and is far and away the biggest release this year.
Mind you, this is the first time a country album has earned this title this year on Spotify … and not just that, but it’s the biggest debut on Spotify by a Black female artist ever.
Even before “Cowboy Carter” dropped, Bey’s single “Texas Hold ‘Em” had already been streamed over 200 million times … so yeah, she’s sitting pretty right now as far as stats go with this latest drop. Seems like anyone who’s anyone is giving a listen and then some.
As we reported … there were a lot of standout moments from the album that fans latched onto — including the fact that Beyonce flipped Dolly Parton‘s “Jolene” on its head … and the fact she subtly griped about not having won Album of the Year yet at the Grammys.
Of course, the music itself is also being praised left and right … and Spotify users agree!
