Olivia Rodrigo's debut single 'Drivers License' was a historic success in the streaming era. Released in January 2021, the song broke the Spotify record for most streams in a single day for a non-holiday song (over 15 million) and then broke its own record the next day. It spent eight consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The song's success was fueled by TikTok 'theories' about the real-life love triangle between Rodrigo and her 'High School Musical' co-stars. It made Rodrigo the youngest artist to debut at number one on the Hot 100. The track is often compared to the works of Taylor Swift and Lorde for its highly personal, 'bedroom-pop' songwriting style, marking a shift toward more vulnerable, diary-like lyrics in mainstream hits.
