Taylor Swift now holds Spotify's single-day album stream record for 'Midnights'

With Taylor Swift's latest album, Midnights, officially in the hands of fans and streaming services, the singer has broken a Spotify record again. Spotify revealed that Midnights is now the most-streamed album in a single day in the service's history. The company didn't immediately release the official streaming numbers, but she beat out Bad Bunny's previously held record after Un Verano Sin Ti got 183 million streams in May. (Drake was the previous record holder for Certified Lover Boy with 176.8 million streams.) The announcement came hours after reports on Twitter claimed that Spotify briefly crashed on Thursday night as fans wanted to listen to the record when it came out.

Microsoft's PC Manager is built to boost performance

Source: The Verge

Microsoft is developing a PC Manager that's expected to help boost your computer's performance. This beta version of the app resembles CCleaner with features like storage management, the option to end tasks quickly, and control of which apps start up with Windows. You can already do most of this on Windows, but this app will centralize it.

There's also a browser protection section to make it easier to change default browsers. You can also manage apps and remove the rarely used ones. It offers a full cleanup scan, and its process management feature is a simplified version of Task Manager to kill processes eating up your RAM. There is a "boost" button that can clear temporary files and free up memory. The app shows up on Microsoft's official site, but it is in Chinese, hinting at this feature being designed for specific regions.
