Justin Bieber's "What Do You Mean?" Beats One Direction's Spotify Record
A couple weeks ago, One Direction dropped "Drag Me Down," their first single without Zayn Malik. The tune was felt like a triumph for the band and their fans alike: They could remain strong, even without the former member. To show support, Directioners flocked to Spotify to listen and re-listen to the tune, eventually racking up 20 million streams in 24 hours...a new record.
It didn't last long: Justin Bieber has returned, and with him, a new single, "What Do You Mean?" Guess how many plays that bad boy received in 24 hours? 21 million!
