Drake’s impact on Spotify has been evident over the years. In 2021, Spotify officially declared him as the most-streamed artist in the United States, with an impressive 8.6 billion on-demand streams. Notably, one out of every 131 streams that year belonged to one of his songs. It goes without saying that Drake continues to reign supreme on Spotify, and there are indications that he will maintain his dominance in the foreseeable future. Recently, he debuted the highly anticipated track “At The Gates” featuring Lil Uzi Vert on Sound42, while fans speculate that the release of Scary Hours 3 is on the horizon.

In just a matter of months, Drake has accumulated an additional 5 billion streams on Spotify. In January, he celebrated reaching the milestone of 75 billion streams. However, Drake took this opportunity to advocate for better compensation for artists by streaming services. He urged that artists should receive bonuses similar to athletes, to inspire future artists to remain consistent and competitive. In a tongue-in-cheek manner, he requested a “LeBron-sized” check, adding, “I have enough dinner plates.” While Spotify has yet to respond, it is a proposal worthy of consideration.
In addition to his Spotify triumph, Drake is preparing for his first tour in nearly five years. Alongside 21 Savage, the rapper will embark on the “It’s All A Blur” tour across North America. The tour is set to commence on June 29th at Memphis’ FedExForum and conclude on October 7th at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena. Fans are hopeful for more music from Drake before the tour kicks off.
