This Week In Trivia: Taylor Swift, 2022 World Series, & 'House of the Dragon'

Welcome back to trending, you know, ladies living through history can be exhausting and pretty easy to miss a few things along the way with that in mind. It's time for this week in trivia. Now here to help us out is trending. Producer Connor. Alrighty folks, Here's how the game works. We're gonna recap a big story from the past week and then I'm gonna give you a question that's kinda sorta related to it because I make up the rules. Okay, you guys have to agree on the same answer, Are you ready? Alright folks, Taylor Swift's Midnight's album is having a record breaking week. Just hours after it's released, the singer's 10th album officially became Spotify most streamed album in a single day with the most streamed song being Antihero Overall, the album was streamed 184.6 million times. Last friday guys Before Taylor, what is the second most streamed album in a single day on Spotify? Is it a 25 by Adele B. No senti by Bad bunny. I apologize, see divide by Ed Sheeran or D sour by Olivia, Rodrigo. What was the most streamed before midnight. Okay, so I was gonna say Adele, but the universal appeal that Bad bunny has, I think the biggest artist, I agree. Yes. The record for the most streamed album in a single day was previously held by Bad bunny. The Puerto Rican rapper racked up 183 million streams on May 6th, 2022 the release day of his album julissa. Say for me, please thank you very much. All right folks, Moving on here, the fall classic has finally arrived. The World Series kicks off tonight in Houston, just about an hour with the Houston at Astros taking on the philadelphia Phillies. Now victory would give philadelphia a third World series title overall. The Astros only have one but they've appeared in the Championship round four times since 2017. Now of course fans are hoping for an exciting World Series that goes the distance. The dominant Astros have not yet lost in the post season while the Phillies actually had the lowest odds of advancing this far when the playoffs began. Clearly anything can and will have folks, how many World Series overall have gone? Seven games is in a. 29. B. 33. C. 37 or D. 40 I'm gonna say 37 definitely. Why I guess I just wanted to make it sound confident but whatsoever can I use a lifeline? Call my brothers? Uh well we have to agree it's c. I was close though when the Astros and the price was right, you would have done it. And the Astros Phillies take the field tonight. It will mark the 118 Fall classic overall and 40 of them have gone to seven games. Alright folks. And finally here the season one finale of House of the Dragon brought in 9.3 million viewers on sunday. According to Warner Brothers discover which that makes episode 10 titled The Black Queen HBO's most watched season finale since Game of Thrones concluded its eighth and final season with 19.8 million viewers in 2019. Now before Game of Thrones which show held the HBO record for largest season finale audiences at A The sopranos be Sex in the city. See, curb your enthusiasm or d I want to say either A or C curb your enthusiasm or suppress it sopranos because I always think it's so overrated that show and then you're like, oh wait, everyone loves it. So then what do you think I Yeah. Between A and B. The sopranos or Sex in the city. But I think it's it's soprano. Alright. Block and soprano is a the sopranos. Two out of three universally beloved series finale of the sopranos brought in 11.9 million viewers back in 2007. But guys, it turns out that isn't even the highest rated episode of the show. The fourth season premiere pulled in just under 13.5 million viewers in 2002 by the way. That was also the HBO record for largest audience ever ever. Until those folks from Westeros and those dragons showed up. I really thought Sex and the City would be it to like that. I would consider that didn't have as much universal appeal for men and women and everyone liking it. So that's why. Yeah, but I mean everyone loves. Exactly. Nobody went to smash their TVs when that when that screen went black at the end of good. That does it for this edition of trending. Thank you, Connor.
