Olivia Rodrigo has added yet another milestone to her record-breaking year. The 23-year-old pop superstar's fan-favorite track "Maggots for Brains" has officially surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify, marking her 36th song to achieve the benchmark, according to Geo.tv .
The achievement comes from her third studio album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, which was released on June 12 and has already shattered streaming records across multiple platforms. The album debuted with approximately 82 million Spotify streams on release day, becoming the most-streamed album by a female artist in a single day in 2026 . Amazon Music also reported the album delivered the platform's biggest global first-day streaming debut of any album released this year .
The track, which Rodrigo has described as one of her personal favorites on the album, was inspired by a scene from Sex and the City involving Miranda Hobbes and Steve Brady. "Anytime something funny happens, I just want to tell you," Rodrigo explained, citing the line that sparked the song's creation . The propulsive, punk-tinged track compares lovesickness and codependency to having a "rotting brain," with Rodrigo singing about feeling like a "zombie in my body" when separated from her partner .
Industry reports suggest Rodrigo has been working on a music video for the track, and she has expressed particular excitement about performing it live on her upcoming Unraveled Tour, which kicks off September 25 in Hartford, Connecticut . The tour, in support of her new album, has already expanded due to overwhelming demand, with multiple shows added in major markets including Los Angeles, Brooklyn, and London .
Fans celebrated the achievement on social media, with one writing, "Another one for Olivia. 36 songs past 100 million is crazy consistency," while others called for the track to be released as a single .
The album, which features collaborations with Robert Smith of The Cure on the track "What's Wrong With Me," has been praised by critics for its more mature approach to songwriting, departing from the raw teenage angst of Sour and Guts to explore the complexities of "big girl" love .
Why this matters
Rodrigo's latest milestone underscores her transformation from breakout star to one of the defining pop voices of her generation. At 23, she has now accumulated 36 songs with over 100 million streams—a feat that places her in elite company and demonstrates the remarkable staying power of her catalog. The success of You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love continues a trajectory that began with her 2021 debut Sour, which remains the fourth most-streamed album in Spotify history . With the Unraveled Tour set to span over 65 dates across North America and Europe through May 2027, Rodrigo's commercial momentum shows no signs of slowing .
