Playboi Carti is breaking records with ‘Music’, its very anticipated album. He managed to become the best Spotify debut in 2025, for the moment, with 139 million streams on his first day; and in the seventh best debut in the history of the platform. Everything, using the power of the meme in the most listened to the project of the project, the erratic ‘Evil J0rdan’.
It is clear that ‘Music’ will get some of the most impressive numbers of the year in its first week. Hits Daily Double estimates that the album ends with 250,000 units sold. However, Carti himself commented that it is “strange” that the physical sales of the project are not included in this data. Even so, it would be enough to overcome Lady Gaga’s numbers, for example, which sold 219,000 units in her first week.
‘Evil J0rdan’ was one of the most anticipated songs of ‘Music’, in large part because it had already come out, but not on platforms. In fact, most of the comments of the video clip on the official channel of the artist broman about the fact that the clip already had a whole year on YouTube.
The first thing that attracts the attention of the subject, obviously, is that curious intro of one minute. It seems a lie that the song has been so successful including such a long start, but it is just what has made it viral. Just when Beat is going to enter, and after a sample of ‘popular’, a shot sound sounds, of total stock, which directly remembers the most cutter edits of Tik Tok.
It is not even the only sound of this type that appears on the disc, which is totally plagued by them, but it has turned out to be the most iconic. Carti knows perfectly what he does: if the song is a meme, it is promoted alone.
The next thing we have, in addition, is a Canon song by Playboi Carti, with a thundering bass and some synthesizers as hypnotic as alarming. In the lyrics, as chaotic as Beat, Carti talks about his “emotion phase” and how his life is “out of control”, without any apparent thread.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcrc2Dhhom
