Drake became the first artist in Spotify history on February 17, 2026, when 300
of his songs surpassed 100 million plays. This milestone was based on both time
and scale. After his collaboration with Beyoncé, "Mine," reached 100
million Spotify plays, the Canadian artist extends his record.
On the list that reflects his domination as the
commercial heavyweight of the streaming era, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Bad
Bunny, and The Weeknd are lagging behind.
Compounding, quality, and economic success are the
reasons behind the 300 songs that have surpassed 100 million streams. Some of
the biggest popular rap recordings of the streaming era can be found in Drake's
repertoire, and his steady output also guarantees that he will continue to be a
commercial giant who knows how to deliver what the public wants to hear. Since
he is the artist with the most tracks that have had more than 1 billion plays,
Spotify has proven to be a significant pounding ground for him.
This record is not driven by a single outlier. Yes, "One Dance" has
received over 4 billion plays, and "God's Plan" is still among the
most popular rap albums on the platform, but the 300-song milestone shows the
depth of Spotify's collection rather than just its worldwide hits.
'Take Care' has been streamed over 700 million times,
and tracks from the 2011 album continue to contribute to the total. 'NOKIA'
with PARTYNEXTDOOR, which was released in 2025, has sold over 500 million
copies. Years after their release, songs like "Nonstop" and
"Jimmy Cooks" continue to receive over 200,000 streams every day on
average.
Rankings in the current sector are frequently based on streaming numbers.
Although first-week sales are still important, everyday listening shows what
consumers are really listening to, and Drake's discography has a timeless
performance.
