An ICON because...
Multi-record-breaking rap artist Drake (b. Aubrey Drake Graham) is no stranger to shattering records, being the most streamed act on Spotify according to Chartmasters.org.
Scoring several chart-topping hits, Drake amassed a head-turning total of 94,500,143,22 streams: 72,453,886,499 as a lead artist and 22,046,256,727 as a featured artist. Unsurprisingly, Taylor Swift follows suit while Bad Bunny completes the top three.
Drake's fifth studio album Scorpion (2018) remains unbeaten as the most streamed album by a male artist in one week ever.
In the volatile world of social media, Drake's music is leaving an ever-lasting mark as the rapper continues to release chart-toppers: with 329 tracks on the US Billboard Hot 100 and 244,000,000 units sold as of April 2024, he's the biggest-selling digital singles artist in the USA.
