Rosalía breaks Spotify record for most daily streams by Spanish-speaking female artist

Rosalía's new album Lux is already breaking records.

On its first day of release, the album became the most-streamed album ever by a Spanish-speaking female artist.

The Catalan star also surpassed her own personal record for streams in a single day.

However, data from the streaming platform does not yet fully reflect Lux's impact on the weekly charts, as it has only been a few days since its release.

The single Berghain, released four days before the album, has already appeared on the weekly charts, topping the lists in Spain and Barcelona and reaching 18th place globally.

The song has also seen success in several other countries: 12th in Portugal, 13th in Austria, and 20th in Belgium.

Lux captivates global press 

"Pop's most provocative chaos agent." That's how Rolling Stone opens its review of Lux, awarding the album a full five stars.  

The magazine calls it a record that "sounds like absolutely nothing else in music right now," one that "no other pop star could have made."

The Guardian also gave Lux five stars, describing it as "a truly compelling, involving experience" that simply could not have been created "by anyone else."

"Rosalía's vocal performances are spectacular firework displays of talent: she seems just as comfortable in the presence of fado singers on La Rumba del Perdón as she does rapping, or belting as if she's on stage at the Royal Opera House," critic Alexis Petridis writes. 

And the enthusiasm is global. Die Zeit writes that "pop has a new goddess," while the Financial Times praises Lux as "an ambitious and unusual tribute to the European song tradition."
