Zara Larsson didn\u2019t just drop an album, she set the digital stage ablaze. Her latest project,\u00a0Midnight Sun, has stormed onto charts around the world, proving yet again that Sweden\u2019s brightest pop export knows how to command the global spotlight.<\/p>\n

A Streaming Tsunami<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In its first full day of release,\u00a0Midnight Sun\u00a0racked up an eye-watering\u00a03,872,952 million streams\u00a0on Spotify. That number secures it as Zara\u2019s\u00a0second-best debut album on the platform, behind her blockbuster 2017 effort\u00a0So Good\u00a0with 9.45 million streams. For perspective: her last two projects,\u00a0VENUS\u00a0and\u00a0Poster Girl, clocked in at 2.75M and 2.71M, respectively.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not growth, it\u2019s an explosion.<\/p>\n

Entering the global leagues<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The princess of Swedish pop is also world royalty. Zara made history and entered Spotify\u2019s\u00a0Top Artists Global for the first time ever, arriving at #177 as the largest new entry. Back on her home turf of Sweden, though, she\u2019s a complete behemoth: Zara ascended 30 positions to claim the\u00a0#1 spot on Spotify Sweden\u2019s Daily Top Artists. And if you ever doubted it, she\u2019s sat on Sweden\u2019s Top Artists list for a staggering\u00a01,437 days\u00a0in a row, or nearly four years straight without budging.<\/p>\n

Sweden Just Can\u2019t Stop Playing\u00a0Midnight Sun<\/p>\n

All of the songs from\u00a0Midnight Sun\u00a0entered Sweden\u2019s Top 100 simultaneously, a not-so-common achievement reserved for a few of the world\u2019s major pop titans. The best bits:<\/p>\n

Critics Are Eating It Up<\/strong><\/h2>\n

And if the numbers weren\u2019t proof enough, Zara also earned her best reviews to date.\u00a0Midnight Sun\u00a0launched with a sparkling\u00a089 on Metacritic, a whopping best rating for the album so far. For comparison:\u00a0VENUS\u00a0had a 74,\u00a0Poster Girl\u00a0had 72, and her first\u00a0So Good\u00a0had a 76. With\u00a0Midnight Sun, Zara isn\u2019t just racking up streams, she\u2019s long deservingly receiving the critical flowers.<\/p>\n
