In a landmark feat, Drake has become the first artist to reach 115 billion streams across all credits on Spotify.

These major milestone is a furtherance of Drake’s status as the biggest star of the streaming era.

Drake’s Spotify haul is thanks to his extensive list of hit records, which includes 23 songs with over 1 billion streams. This puts him just behind fellow Canadian star The Weeknd as the artist with the most songs with over a billion Spotify streams.

The Canadian megastar has been in a record-breaking mood in 2025. He recently became the artist with the most RIAA-certified Diamond records.

He achieved this historic feat after his songs ‘Hold On, We’re Going Home’ and ‘Best I Ever Had’ surpassed 10 million sales in the United States.

Drake also became the first artist in history to reach 500 million RIAA certification units.

These historic feats are a testament to his status as one of the most commercial artists globally, especially in the United States, where he holds multiple charting records.
