Playboi Carti's album breaks Spotify streaming records

Playboi Carti released his highly anticipated album "Music" on March 14, 2025, becoming Spotify's most-streamed album in a single day this year. This marks a significant return for the artist after five years of anticipation. Kanye West surprised fans with a new song featuring Diddy and North West on March 15. Meanwhile, UMG filed a motion to dismiss Drake's lawsuit regarding Kendrick Lamar's track "Not Like Us," claiming the lawsuit lacks merit. New music highlights include Rexx Life Raj's collaboration with Mick Jenkins, Lil Nas X's "Hotbox," and Jazlyn Martin's soulful duet "Have It Your Way." Emerging artists like Diany Dior and JayDon also released notable tracks this week.
