It’s so much more than hype especially now that Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp A Butterfly” Sets Spotify Record in ONE day! So exactly what happened???
The third album by Compton native Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp A Butterfly” Sets Spotify Record for it’s epic performance in a single day for the streaming service. Billboard and Rap Up report the 12 tracks were listened to over 9.6 million times and set a new global record for first-day streams!!!
If you’re wondering who he’s in company with…“King Kunta” is a lone Hip Hop representer. Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp A Butterfly” Sets Spotify Record and the last record holder was Michael Buble’s Christmas album who did the same first day numbers (wow, go figure). If you’re a hater looking for more things to grind your teeth on, applaud another’s success or just enjoy hearing about other people’s money:
“The album, which was released a week ahead of schedule, earned about $44,160 in a single day globally.”
Mhmm…well! K.Dot’s also holding the number one spot on iTunes and getting rave reviews not just from his peers and critics but heavyweights like Kanye West. It’s definitely a day of records because as Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp A Butterfly” Sets Spotify Record another Hip Hop/music icon in Nicki Minaj just made Billboard history.
Looks like those refunds won’t be necessary…check the gallery for TDE’s reaction post!
