Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky' sets Spotify record

[Cupe]

It’s been three days since Daft Punk’s "Get Lucky" was first unleashed, it’s already hit number one on iTunes in both France and the UK, and number three in the US. And on Spotify? It set a record for "biggest streaming day for a single track" in both the US and UK, writes The Hollywood Reporter.

Random Access Memories, scheduled for a May 21st release, is the first new Daft Punk album in eight years (excluding 2007’s live album and 2008’s Tron: Legacy soundtrack), and anticipation for the release is reaching a fever pitch. If you can’t wait to hear it for yourself, French magazine Le Nouvel Observateur posted the group's track-by-track breakdown of the upcoming album, which includes a 250-track piece called "Touch" alongside a song called "Motherboard," which they describe as a "futuristic" piece that could be from "the year 4,000."

Daft Punk has set a record on Spotify.

The music service, which launched in 2008, says the French electronic duo's song "Get Lucky" had the biggest streaming day for a single track on Friday in the U.S. and the United Kingdom.

Spotify wouldn't release the number of streams.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop" previously held the record for most streams in a day in the U.S. British band Bastille had the title in the United Kingdom with the song "Pompeii."

Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" features rapper-producer Pharrell and influential producer/ guitarist Nile Rodgers. It's the first single from the group's fourth album, "Random Access Memories," due out May 21. Years of reports of the group's extensive collaborations for the new album -- from Rodgers and Williams to electronic pioneer Giorgio Moroder -- were confirmed with this week's release of the collection's track list, which also features the Strokes' Julian Casablancas, Paul Williams, Todd Edwards and Animal Collective's Panda Bear.

The album is the secretive act's first studio LP since 2005's "Human After All." Daft Punk has since released a live set, "Alive 2007," as well as the soundtrack to 2010's "TRON: Legacy." "Random Access Memories" is due May 21.
