Rosalía‘s new album, ‘LUX’ has become the most streamed LP in a day on Spotify by a spanish-speaking female artist.
Released on Friday (November 7), the record is the artist’s fourth studio album and the long-anticipated follow-up to 2022’s ‘Motomami’.
It amassed 42.1million first-day streams more than doubling the debut numbers for her 2022 breakthrough, which opened with 16million.
Previously, the record was held by Karol G, whose 2023 album ‘Mañana Será Bonito’, clocked up 35.7million streams on its opening day.

The album was given a glowing five-star review by NME, and praised for the singer’s ability to sing in 13 different languages, and push her sound into adventurous new horizons.
“Lux’ contains not just whole worlds, but astral planes, bridging the gap between Earth and whatever you believe heaven to be,” the review read. “[It] is an album that asks a lot of you, particularly spanning 18 tracks and one hour in length. But give it what it demands, and it will reward you many times over.
“It is an astonishing record – one that continuously stops you dead in your tracks, encourages curiosity, and builds a new world for you to dive into, while connecting to the sounds of all of Rosalía’s previous releases.”
‘LUX’ was announced last month, and previewed by the lead single ‘Berghain’, which saw Rosalía join forces with Björk and Yves Tumor. The Spanish singer-songwriter had previously worked with Björk in 2023 for the duet ‘Oral’.
Earlier this week, it was also confirmed that Daft Punk‘s Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo co-wrote the song ‘Reliquia’, on the album.
On the track, Rosalía sings in Spanish, backed by classically-inspired instrumentals.
“Me, who lost my hands in Jerez and my eyes in Rome / I grew up, and learned shamelessness somewhere around Barcelona / I lost my tongue in Paris, my time in LA / My heels in Milan, my smile in the UK,” she sings (translated to English), before moving into the euphoric chorus.
Other artists with writing credits on ‘LUX’ include Caroline Shaw, David Rodriguez, Dylan Wiggins, Noah Goldstein and Ryan Tedder.
