The streaming gods have spoken, a new legend is written in the digital age, and her name is Olivia Rodrigo. And the numbers, they are not just impressive—they are seismic. In the pantheon of pop, where titans like Taylor Swift
once reigned supreme, a new queen has claimed her throne. The world watches as records shatter, and history is rewritten. This is not just another milestone; it is a coronation, a declaration, and a moment that will echo for years across playlists and headlines.
Adding another layer to the Swift vs Rodrigo feud that came at the foothill of a once iconic legend-prodigy relationship is the ‘drivers license’ singer’s run-over of the ‘Getaway Car’ singer’s undefeated streak.
The news is official: Olivia Rodrigo’s debut album, ‘SOUR’, has surpassed 15 billion streams on Spotify, making it the most-streamed album by a female artist in the platform’s history. This staggering achievement places Rodrigo above even Taylor Swift’s previous mega stats, signaling a marked
generational shift in pop music’s streaming hierarchy
. The feat, confirmed on June 11, 2025, cements Rodrigo’s status as the defining voice of her era, with ‘SOUR’ now a benchmark for global music success.

Rodrigo’s rise has been nothing short of meteoric. Since her debut, she has consistently dominated Spotify’s charts, with tracks like ‘drivers license’ that marked its four years just this January
and ‘good 4 u’ each amassing over two billion streams. Her ability to connect with listeners through raw emotion and relatable storytelling has translated into sustained streaming power, not just viral moments. With over 45 million monthly listeners and a catalogue that continues to grow, Rodrigo’s influence extends far beyond just this ‘SOUR’.
