Even after two decades in the game, Drake is continuing to rack up the accolades.
Drake Named Most Streamed Rapper in Spotify History
The Grammy winner was recently named the most-streamed rapper in the history of Spotify. Eminem and Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, rounded out the top three. Other artists such as Juicewrld, Future, Kendrick Lamar, and Travis Scott also appeared in the top 10.
It should be noted that the list was created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the streaming platform. And with Spotify only being around since 2006, it would exclude other big-time artists such as Jay-Z, Biggie Smalls, and Tupac.
Check out the top 7 below as caught by Kurrco on X.

With Drake earning yet another career achievement, a major debate ensued on social media.
“Travis being there with only 4 albums speaks everything you need to know,” one user wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Drake’s catalog is literally a streaming cheat code. The longevity is unmatched,” a second user added.
“Spotify is too stupid, man… I still don’t understand why they only count lead streams,” a third user chimed in.
Drake is officially back in album mode. The Grammy-winner announced that his ninth studio album, titled Iceman, will drop on May 15. Just in time for the summer.
This will be his first solo project since his 2023 project, For All The Dogs. It will also be the first solo project that he has dropped since his 2024 high-profile feud with Kendrick Lamar.
Many people suggested that the result of Dot and Drizzy’s feud equaled the end of Drake as we knew him. But two years later, he once again has the industry at a standstill, as they await his new project. Fans are counting on him to deliver.
