New record for Drake: he is the first artist to have passed 110 billion streams on Spotify

Drake is the first artist in history to have passed 110 billion streams on Spotify.

If you thought that Kendrick Lamar had completely destroyed Drake, he was wrong and the Toronto rapper added a new record on his list.

Only in June, when he was in the highlight of his beef with Kendrick, Drake, with his 78 million monthly listeners, became the most listened artist ever on Spotify with over 100 billion of listening, practically as if every track of his own reached 234 million streams and every 5 billion album.

Now he has exceeded 110 billion streams on Spotify.

Here are some records reached by Drake during his career:

  1. He is the most streammed artist ever on Spotify
  2. He is the men's artist with the highest number of songs in first position in Billboard's Hot 100 ranking (14)
  3. He is the artist with the largest number of riia certifications ever
  4. It is the rapper with the largest number of diamond certifications
  5. He is the artist with the largest number of individual platinum certificates from Riia ever
  6. He is the artist with the most singles in Top 5 in the Billboard Hot 100 ranking ever (41)
  7. He is the artist with the largest number of songs that have reached the top 100 of the Billboard Hot 100 (338)
  8. It is the second rapper with multiple albums who reached the first place in the standings (13)
  9. His album “Certified Lover Boy” is the rap album with more streaming accumulated in one day (over 153 million)
