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.
