Less than 24 hours after her first single in six years, Adele is already hitting milestones.
The British superstar singer, 33, released Easy On Me on Thursday and the song and video will be included on her fourth album, 30, out Nov. 19.
Music streamer Spotify hit Twitter on Friday to congratulate Adele for her single becoming its most downloaded song in a single day.
And just like that, Adele set a new record, the tweet says.
The actual streaming number has not been released. However, some fans pointed out that Adele still had about three hours left in the 24-hour period since the tweet was posted.
The previous record was held by BTS Butter that made its Spotify debut on May 21 and quickly racked up more than 11 million filtered streams, which was the largest global debut of the platform s history and surpassing its own record by 2020's Dynamite. I was certainly nowhere near the location I d hope to be when I first started it approximately 3 years ago, she wrote Wednesday in a Twitter statement describing the project. Quite the opposite actually. I ve learned a lot of blistering home truths about myself along the way, she said, adding that she was finally ready to release this album. She described the project as her ride or die and said that working on the album helped me through the most turbulent period of my life. I ve shed many layers, but also wrapped my body in new ones. Discovered genuinely useful and wholesome mentalities to lead with, and I feel like I ve finally found my feeling again. These days Adele maintains that she has never felt less peaceful in her life and credits writing and recording process for helping her breakthrough.
I ve painstakingly rebuilt my house and my heart since then and this album narrates it, she wrote.
