Canadian rapper, singer, and actor Drake has once again made music history by becoming the first artist in the industry to reach 100 billion streams on Spotify. This monumental achievement encompasses all of Drake’s credits, including his work as a lead artist and a featured artist.
Drake’s incredible accomplishment comes just two months after reports indicated that he was nearing the 97 billion stream mark. This milestone solidifies his position as a dominant force in the music industry and showcases his enduring popularity among fans worldwide.
Some of Drake’s top-streamed songs on Spotify include “One Dance” with 3.1 billion streams, “God’s Plan” with 2.5 billion streams, “Passion Fruit” with 1.6 billion streams, “Work” with 1.4 billion streams, and “In My Feelings” with 1.3 billion streams. These tracks have resonated with listeners and contributed to Drake’s record-breaking streaming numbers.
With an impressive monthly listener count of 78,140,542, Drake achieved this milestone shortly after his highly publicized feud with Kendrick Lamar. The achievement of 100 billion streams on Spotify includes an average of 234 million streams per song and an average of 5 billion streams per album, according to Chart Data. As news of Drake’s historic achievement broke, fans took to social media to celebrate the moment. Some fans even claimed that this milestone marked Drake as the winner in his ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar, urging Lamar to “catch up.” The impact of Drake’s music and his ability to consistently break records have solidified his status as one of the biggest hip-hop artists of all time.
While Drake now holds the top spot with 100 billion streams, Taylor Swift follows closely behind with 84.4 billion streams, further highlighting the immense popularity of both artists on the platform.
On the work front, Drake has recently released a series of singles, including diss tracks aimed at Kendrick Lamar such as “Push Ups,” “Taylor Made Freestyle,” “Family Matters,” and “The Heart Part 6.” Additionally, he collaborated on Sexxy Red’s single, “U My Everything.”
