Drake makes Spotify history with 100 Billion streams milestone

The Canadian rapper sets a new record with 100 billion streams, surpassing Taylor Swift who holds the second spot.

Drake has once again made history on Spotify. The Canadian rapper, singer, and actor achieved a monumental milestone by becoming the first artist in the music industry to reach 100 billion streams on the platform. 

This achievement spans all his credits, including his work as a lead artist and a featured artist. Some of his top-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 feat comes just two months after Drake was reported to be nearing the 97 billion stream mark. 

With a staggering 78,140,542 monthly listeners, Drake achieved this milestone shortly after his highly publicized feud with Kendrick Lamar. 

According to Chart Data, his 100 billion streams on Spotify include an average of 234 million streams per song and an average of 5 billion streams per album. 

As soon as the news broke, fans took to social media to celebrate the moment. 

Some even claimed that this achievement marked Drake as the winner in his ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar, urging Lamar to "catch up." 

One fan wrote, “King, you’ve done it again. Raising the bar for us all. So effortlessly, so cleanly,” while another commented, “The biggest hip hop artist ever, no other hip hop artist can recreate this anytime soon.”

“Kendrick can never achieve this even in the next 10 years,” another fan chimed in.

While Drake now holds the top spot, Taylor Swift follows with 84.4 billion streams.

On the work front, the "One Dance" singer recently released a series of singles, including his Kendrick Lamar diss tracks like "Push Ups," "Taylor Made Freestyle," "Family Matters," and "The Heart Part 6," along with his recent collaboration on Sexxy Red’s single, "U My Everything." 

The feud with Kendrick Lamar began when Lamar took aim at Drake with his verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s "Like That." 

In the following weeks, both artists released multiple diss tracks. While Drake’s "Family Matters" alone garnered over 75 million streams, Lamar also made waves with "Meet The Grahams" and "Not Like Us."
