Olivia Rodrigo has just made Spotify history with her debut album, SOUR, surpassing 13 billion streams. This milestone makes SOUR the first album by a female artist to reach this mark and cements Olivia as the youngest artist ever to achieve it. The album’s massive success has been driven by hit singles like “Drivers License” and “Good 4 U,” both boasting over 2.2 billion streams each. This achievement follows another major record for Olivia; back in May, SOUR became the most-streamed album on the platform by a female artist, surpassing Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia. Overall, SOUR is just the fifth album to cross the 13 billion mark on Spotify. Curious who the other artists are? Let’s take a look.
