A career-best opening
“Housewife” delivered McRae’s biggest Spotify global debut, according to Pop Base, beating the No. 5 start and 4.13 million streams for “TIT FOR TAT.” Headline Planet reported that the new single led Spotify’s daily global and US charts for Oct. 16, with 5.67 million streams worldwide and 2.43 million in the US.
The RCA release arrived with a video directed by Pierre-Ange Carlotti and choreographed by Sergio Reis. Sony Music Canada says the production, filmed in the south of France, pairs a glamorous fantasy with the cost of preserving independence. The song is framed around love, fame and a woman who refuses to be contained.
Sony also describes the track as McRae’s first release since her No. 1 album, “So Close To What.”
