Drake Hits 1 Billion Spotify Streams in 2026 in Just 3 Weeks
Drake has wasted no time in 2026.
Before January could even end, the Canadian rapper and singer crossed 1 billion Spotify streams, becoming the first rapper to reach that mark this year.
He also hit a new personal record on the platform, climbing to 86.7 million monthly listeners, higher than his previous peak in 2023.
What makes it even more impressive is how quietly it happened.
There has been no album campaign, no major drop, and no loud promo run. Yet the numbers keep rising, powered by music fans already know by heart.
While listeners continue waiting for ICEMAN, Drake’s catalog is doing what most artistes only dream of.
His older hits are still in heavy rotation, his newer tracks are holding strong, and the streams keep piling up.
It is only week three, and Drake is already setting the pace for the entire year.
