This new achievement comes hot on the heels of another milestone Olivia recently broke. On November 28th, “Jealousy, Jealousy” reached 1 billion streams, marking the seventh song from Sour to achieve this feat and making the album the first to have seven tracks surpass 1 billion streams. The album is also just 200 million streams away from becoming the first female record in history to hit 14 billion streams on Spotify.
Upon its release, Sour became an instant sensation. At the 2022 Grammy Awards, it earned Olivia three awards. Her sophomore album, GUTS, released in September 2023, cemented her status as a rising superstar. Showcasing a more experimental sound, GUTS debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and received widespread critical acclaim. Songs like “Vampire” and “Bad Idea Right?” quickly resonated with fans, becoming instant favorites.
