THE WEEKND, BIEBER: STREAMS OF A LIFETIME

The Weeknd and Justin Bieber had their best streaming days yesterday, according to label sources.

In the wake of his incendiary VMAs performance, The Weeknd's Beauty Behind The Madness (XO/Republic), which we predicted earlier would overtake Drake's seven-day streaming record of 48 million, now seems like a lock for 50 million streams or better. The Weeknd's streams have grown every day since Beauty's release.

Bieber, meanwhile, continues his renaissance at breakneck speed; his "What Do You Mean?" (RBMG/Def Jam) was streamed over 2m times yesterday.

In a related story, a guy outed in the Ashley Madison hack said he was just researching an adultery playlist for Spotify.
