Drake Becomes First Artist to Reach 100 Billion Spotify Streams
On June 18, 2024, Canadian rapper, singer, and actor Drake made history by becoming the first artist to surpass 100 billion streams on Spotify. This remarkable achievement includes all his credits as both a lead and featured artist.
Some of Drake’s most streamed songs include “One Dance” (3.1 billion streams), “God’s Plan” (2.5 billion streams), “Passion Fruit” (1.6 billion streams), “Work” (1.4 billion streams), and “In My Feelings” (1.3 billion streams).
This milestone comes just two months after reports that Drake was nearing 97 billion streams. With an impressive 78,140,542 monthly listeners, he reached this historic mark shortly after a highly publicized feud with fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar.
According to Chart Data, Drake’s 100 billion Spotify streams average 234 million streams per song and 5 billion streams per album.
On the work front, the “One Dance” singer recently released a series of new songs, including tracks where he dissed Kendrick Lamar like “Push Ups,” “Taylor Made Freestyle,” “Family Matters,” and “The Heart Part 6.”
While Drake now holds the top spot, Taylor Swift follows with 84.4 billion streams.
This achievement solidifies Drake’s position as one of the most streamed artists of all time and sets a new record in the music industry.
