"Easy on Me," renowned English singer-songwriter Adele's latest single, has broken Spotify's record for the most streams in a single day. The song debuted with 24 million streams in 24 hours, surpassing the previous record-holder, BTS's "Butter."

"Easy on Me" is the first single from Adele's forthcoming album "30", her first record since 2015's "25", which is scheduled to drop on November 19.

 

In an Instagram post this week, the singer wrote that the album "was my ride or die throughout the most turbulent period of my life," and that she had "learned a lot of blistering home truths about myself along the way."

"30" is expected to largely deal with Adele's divorce from her husband Simon Konecki. The singer has said that the album is her attempt to explain the divorce to her 9-year-old son, when he is older.
