As per Chart Data, Ice Spice earned the biggest streaming debut for a female rapper in global Spotify history with her guest feature on Taylor Swift’s “Karma (Remix).” It garnered a total of 5.036 million streams on Spotify on the day of its May 26 release, and gave the rapper her biggest Spotify streaming day so far with almost half of her 10.5 million streams from the remix.

“Karma (Remix)” surpassed Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl” from August 2022, which debuted with 3.021 million streams on Spotify. The track also gave Minaj her first solo No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Elsewhere in music, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross of Nine Inch Nails are scoring the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem film.
