Drake has achieved a historic milestone in the music industry by becoming the first artist ever to accumulate 100 billion streams on Spotify. This remarkable feat encompasses all tracks where Drake is credited, whether as a lead artist or featured collaborator. The announcement was made by Chart Data, a renowned music data and chart tracking platform.
Drake’s ascent to this unprecedented milestone solidifies his status as one of the most influential and commercially successful artists globally over the past decade. Known for his versatility in blending rap with pop and exploring various musical genres, Drake has consistently dominated digital streaming platforms with his music.
Notably, Drake now holds the distinction of having 15 songs with over a billion streams each on Spotify, a record he shares with another Canadian music sensation, Justin Bieber. This underscores Drake’s immense popularity and enduring appeal among listeners worldwide.
Beyond his musical achievements, Drake has also been in the spotlight recently due to a highly publicized feud with Grammy-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar. This conflict led to both artists releasing diss tracks, capturing significant attention within the hip-hop community and beyond.
Most recently, Drake was featured on Sexy Redd’s single “U My Everything,” where he addressed elements related to the ongoing controversy, including references to Metrobooming’s “BBL Drizzy” diss song.
Drake’s milestone on Spotify not only cements his legacy in the digital age of music but also highlights his ability to consistently resonate with a global audience through his music and cultural influence.
