Taylor Swift's new album, 'The Life Of A Showgirl' has broken a Spotify record with a huge number of pre saves.
The album, which is the singer's 12th studio release overall, will arrive on Friday (October 3), following on from her record 'The Tortured Poet's Department' last year, an album which became the most pre-saved in the history of Spotify on April 18 last year.
Now, it has been revealed that 'The Life Of A Showgirl', has surpassed five million pre saves on Spotify, which breaks the record which was previously held by Swift in 2024. It is also the first album to reach this figure in the history of the platform.
This comes after the new feature was launched by Spotify yesterday, revealing the pre save counts for the top 10 Countdown Pages. These rankings are shared by Spotify via the chart for fans every Wednesday.
“The Upcoming Releases hub is about celebrating what’s next in music, and Countdown Charts bring a whole new level of visibility to releases that fans are most excited about", Spotify exec, Madeleine Bennett said. “By ranking the top pre-saved releases globally, we’re giving artists a powerful new way to build anticipation and connect with their biggest fans in the lead-up to release day".
This feature means that artists with at least 5,000 active listeners in the last month will be able to launch Countdown Pages for future albums and EPs.
Taylor Swift will be discussing the release of her new album when she returns to The Graham Norton Show on Friday. More on this here.
