Drake has made history by becoming the first artist ever to surpass 110 billion streams on Spotify. The global music superstar achieved this milestone on Saturday, solidifying his place as one of the biggest names in the streaming era.
Drake’s success has been a decade-long journey, with numerous hit albums reshaping the music industry. His rise began with Take Care (2011) and Nothing Was the Same (2013), but it was Views (2016) that took his dominance to new heights.
The album’s lead single, “One Dance,” became the first song on Spotify to hit a billion streams, setting the stage for further digital milestones.
In 2018, Scorpion shattered streaming records, generating over a billion plays in its first week. The hit song “In My Feelings” also sparked a viral dance challenge, keeping Drake on top of the charts.
His 2021 release, Certified Lover Boy, featured hits like “Way 2 Sexy” and “Girls Want Girls,” both contributing to his streaming success.
Drake’s influence goes beyond just numbers. He has shaped how Spotify curates playlists and promotes releases, continuously resetting the bar with each album.
In other news, Drake recently postponed his sold-out Anita Max Win Tour due to venue issues. The tour’s production costs in Australia led to the decision, though rescheduled dates have yet to be confirmed.
Drake thanked his fans for their continued support at the last show, saying, “Thank you for never switching up on me.”
