Daft Punk’s ‘Get Lucky’ breaks Spotify record, becomes most-streamed single in its history

From its Coachella debut to its radio leak and, of course, to its release, Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” has swept the world this April. Nearly days after the first single from Random Access Memories became available to the world, it has broken records, becoming the most-streamed song in the history of Spotify. While the statistics are still unknown, it’s been confirmed to have out-streamed Macklemore’s “Thrift Shop” in the US and Bastille’s “Pompeii” in the UK. Director of label relations at Spotify, Will Hope, expects Daft Punk’s new album to be the biggest of the year for the streaming service, and had this to say about Random Access Memories:

“The robots have once again shown themselves to be true innovators, not only with their new musical direction and the stellar cast of collaborators they’re working with, but also by undertaking one of the best album campaigns we’ve seen for some time. We expect the album to become one of the biggest, if not the biggest, on Spotify this year.”
