Drake has officially etched his name in Spotify history by becoming the first artist to amass a staggering 95 billion streams across all credits. This milestone not only underscores his reign as a global music titan but also highlights his relentless drive to push the envelope in the realms of rap and pop.
For over a decade, the Grammy-winning Canadian icon has dominated the streaming landscape, consistently delivering chart-topping hits that resonate with millions. His recent triumph, “First Person Shooter” featuring J. Cole, propelled him to tie Michael Jackson’s record with 13 No. 1 hits, solidifying his place among music legends.
Drake’s influence on Spotify is nothing short of monumental—he was the most streamed artist globally in 2015, 2016, and 2018, competing fiercely against contemporaries like Ed Sheeran, Bad Bunny, and Taylor Swift. Although he slipped to third place in 2022 and fourth in 2023, he remains a powerhouse with an impressive 84 million monthly listeners, ranking third overall.
With this latest achievement, Drake has surpassed Taylor Swift to claim the title of most streamed artist across all credits, proving that his artistic evolution knows no bounds. Whether it’s through his innovative collaborations or his genre-defying sound, Drake continues to captivate audiences worldwide, ensuring that his legacy in the music industry remains as vibrant as ever. 95 billion streams and counting.
