Kendrick Lamar's new album is the most streamed from Spotify - ever

Of course, Spotify had something of a leg up, as it was the first place you could listen to it - before it was for sale on iTunes and the Google Play store.
For comparison, rapper Drake also did a surprise release of his album "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" back in February and garnered 6.8 million streams in the first day, a record at the time. It seems that Lamar has killed Drake's vibe.
"To Pimp A Butterfly" is the long-awaited follow-up to Lamar's tremendously lauded 2012 album "good kid, m.A.A.d City," and had its first hit last year with the single "i." Critical response to the new album is highly positive.
