Drake Hits Reportedly 500 Million Spotify Streams In 2021

Drake Praises Bow Wow: ‘If It Wasn’t For You, There Wouldn’t Be No Me’

Drake reportedly hits 500 million Spotify streams in just 2021 alone

Drake reportedly hits 500 million Spotify streams in just the first month of 2021. Drizzy is now the first artist to pass 50 Billion streams on Spotify.

It goes without saying that Drake is one of, if not the, biggest rap artists in the world. With his universal fanbase in dozens of countries, Drizzy Drake keeps smashing milestone after milestone throughout his rap career. Also, with his new album Certified Lover Boy seemingly around the corner — though there has yet to be a proper release date — it would appear that Drizzy is set up for another big year.

The announcement comes just in time for black history month via the Canadian rappers’ Instagram story.

 

 

The feat is impressive but not surprising. Considering that his 2018 song “God’s Plan” alone has racked up nearly 1.675 billion streams all by itself. As well as multiple other songs in the hundred-millions. His lead is likely to grow exponentially in the coming weeks. His new album, “Certified Lover Boy,” the follow-up to 2018’s “Scorpion,” is expected to drop this month.

Drake Continues To Break Records on Spotify

Furthermore, the Toronto-born artist has racked up many streaming feats in recent years.

He was Spotify’s most-streamed artist of the 2010s, with 28 billion streams. Moreover, the top 5 was rounded out by Ed Sheeran, Post Malone, Ariana Grande, and Eminem.

In its first 24 hours of release in 2018, Drake’s “Scorpion” shattered Spotify’s one-day global record for album streams. Additionally, individual tracks totaled 132,450,203 streams. This is more than 50,000,000 greater than the previous record, set just weeks earlier by Post Malone’s “Beerbongs & Bentleys.”

Drizzy first hinted that a new album was in the works in April, although he originally had it pushed for release this summer. On Aug. 14, Drake revealed the album’s title to be “Certified Lover Boy” alongside the release of “Laugh Now Cry Later.”

Lil Durk was featured on the track, which was the first single to be released from this new project.
