The new Fearless just dropped, it's not like the streaming numbers are going to equalize overnight. Can you link the data? Sounds like it's interesting

I just spent a few minutes looking for data, expecting something like a stock chart. I can't find almost anything -- even total stream numbers for an album or song are difficult to find.

If you have a good source, I'm very interested.

The Spotify app shows play counts. I'm seeing, for example, 433M plays of "Love Story" and 65M plays of "Love Story (Taylor's Version)".

Considering that it was released only 3 days ago it seems like the number of plays for the "(Taylor's Version)" is quite incredible.

Ah, I only use open.spotify.com. Still, without scraping it/api access, there's no way to see a distribution AFAIK.
