Olivia Rodrigo Drops Explosive Third Album “Guts 2” — Lead Single Smashes Global Spotify Record in Hours

Olivia Rodrigo has officially released her highly anticipated third studio album, Guts 2, and the lead single “Brutal Again” has shattered every streaming record in existence. Dropped at midnight on June 10, 2026, the track amᴀssed an unprecedented 87.4 million streams on Spotify in just 24 hours — the highest first-day total for any song in the platform’s history, surpᴀssing Taylor Swift’s “Fortnight” and Drake’s previous benchmarks.

The 14-track album expands on the raw, angsty sound of her 2023 sophomore release while introducing bolder production and more mature themes of betrayal, self-worth, and digital-age heartbreak. Standout tracks include the venomous “Ex-Files,” the soaring ballad “After the Curtain,” and the тιтle track “Guts 2,” which Rodrigo has described as “the sequel no one asked for but everyone needed.”

Industry analysts are calling the numbers “unreal.” Spotify reported a 420% spike in global searches for Rodrigo within the first hour. Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music all reported similar historic spikes, with “Brutal Again” topping every major chart simultaneously.

Fans have flooded social media with #Guts2 and #BrutalAgain, sharing emotional reactions and TikTok edits. Critics have already hailed the project as “her most fearless work yet,” with Pitchfork awarding it a rare 9.2/10.

At just 23, Rodrigo has achieved what many artists spend decades chasing: breaking the all-time streaming record on day one while delivering an album that feels both personal and universal. With a world tour expected to be announced within days, Guts 2 has already cemented Olivia Rodrigo as the defining voice of her generation — and the numbers prove the world is still listening.
