Playboi Carti came to play with his new album Music. On Friday, the same day the rapper dropped his long-awaited third studio album, he also broke a Spotify record. The audio streaming giant shared on Saturday that Music became Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day in 2025 so far.

After 1,540 days of anticipation, Atlanta-based rapper Playboi Carti has unleashed his third studio album MUSIC to eager fans worldwide. The 30-track collection arrived in the early hours of March 14, landing at approximately 7:30 a.m. EST following several frustrating delays that tested the patience of his dedicated following.

Carti – real name Jordan Carter – is no stranger to controversy, but the release of MUSIC sparked an altogether new debate. Fans began to suspect the presence of AI vocals throughout the long-awaited album; specifically alleging Carti used AI to mimic his own voice, with some suggesting that The Weeknd’s feature verses may have been altered too.
