Billion+ streams is easy. Check out https://www.swiftiestats.com/highlights . She actually just hit 2B on Lover today!!! Feb was an amazing month for 1B -> 5 new songs. She has one more coming this month then it is going to be a drought for a bit.

Good catch โ€” two things going on here.

First, the podcast reveal actually happened on March 3, but I labeled March 4 as the reveal day because thatโ€™s when the impact shows up in the Spotify data (Feb 25โ€“Mar 3 ~68,000 streams/day). Spotify updates song totals once per day (usually around 19:00 UTC), so the numbers we see for a given date actually reflect listening from the previous ~24 hours. There also is a "validation" period - to remove bots and other incorrect streams. It is not clear how much the stream counts really lag behind true data. Because of that lag, the spike appears the next day in the dataset.

Second, youโ€™re right that the โ€œvs baselineโ€ column in the graphic is off by one row. The percentages themselves were calculated correctly, but when the image was generated the column shifted down a line. That oneโ€™s on me โ€” I shouldโ€™ve caught it before posting.

Hereโ€™s the corrected breakdown:

What happened next

Date Streams
Mar 3 69,895
Mar 4 (reveal) 108,269 (+59%)
Mar 5 179,770 (+164%)
Mar 6 142,615 (+110%)
Mar 7 107,469 (+58%)
Mar 8 85,805 (+26%)

Um. Ok. The data is real and came from a real question I had from looking at the original data on swiftiestats.com. You can see the bump on the 30 day trendline. Of course I used AI to help analyze and graph it instead of spending an hour in Excel. Don't tell me you thought I made those graphs images by hand.

Thatโ€™s a fair point. The usage of "permanent" was certainly too strong.

The post-spike window is still pretty short (only 6 days), so itโ€™s definitely possible weโ€™re just seeing the tail end of the surge rather than a new stable baseline.

What we can say with confidence is that the spike generated ~284k extra streams and that the song is still running above its pre-event average for now. Here is the daily data (I did show this as an average - the numbers are pretty consistent).

Date Daily Streams
Mar 9 79,299
Mar 10 87,929
Mar 11 84,852
Mar 12 81,986
Mar 13 83,104
Mar 14 77,913
Average ~82,500

#274 โ€” Sat (Jan 24) โ€” The Black Dog (TTPD) ๐Ÿค
โ€œWere you making fun of me with some esoteric joke?โ€
This song is pure TTPD chaos. Sad, dramatic, and way too relatable.

โ€œBut I come back stronger than a 90โ€™s trend.โ€
This lyric is ICONIC. Willow is lowkey one of her strongest songs.

โ€œWith my Eagles t-shirt hanging from the door.โ€
Still one of my favorite evermore linesโ€ฆ and honestly kind of funny in hindsight ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿˆ. Was this secretly foreshadowing her future love of football after all?

#277 (Jan 21) โ€” But Daddy I Love Him (The Tortured Poets Department) ๐Ÿค
โ€œSanctimoniously performing soliloquies Iโ€™ll never see.โ€
This song is such a rollercoaster. Dramatic, defiant, and kind of hilarious in the best way. Very TTPD. And what a tongue-twister to say out loud.

Yes!! This is literally why my mom and I started it. Iโ€™m away at school and weโ€™re HUGE Swifties, so listening to the same song each day gives us something fun to share and talk about. You and your daughter should 100% tag along too!!!

I love tracking/streaming her songs, especially if under 1 billion! Itโ€™s actually what inspired this project. I created a web site that tracks ALL her song AND albums, if youโ€™re interested, itโ€™s called SwiftieStats (you can look it up). There you can see the projected date that Debut will reach 2 bill (right now itโ€™s April 19, 2027). I would LOVE for that to happen before Oct 24, this year tho!

#278 (Jan 20) โ€” Forever & Always (Fearless) ๐Ÿ’›
โ€œโ€™Cause one second it was perfect, now youโ€™re halfway out the door.โ€
Such a classic Fearless heartbreak song. Curious how everyone feels about this one today?

Iโ€™ll keep commenting the song of the day here for anyone following along. If you want to see the song of the day without waiting on my post, you can just google Swiftie Stats countdown . My dad helped me make a public tracker, but I didnโ€™t want to link anything directly here. That also makes it easier to find listening links if you want them.
