According to Billboard, the artist most well-known for his performance as Degrassi: The Next Generation’s Jimmy Brooks also broke Spotify’s U.S. record for most single-day streams. The record was previously held by Taylor Swift, for her Reputation album single “Look What You Made Me Do.”
To celebrate his success, the artist also known as Champagne Papi posted a photo to his Instagram page comparing his streaming record to NBA legend LeBron James scoring 30,000 points during his basketball career.
