The damage the battle did to Drake’s credibility is one thing. The damage the battle did to his streaming numbers, however, is another. Meaning, it didn’t do much damage. He’s still one of the most artists in the world, as evidenced by colossal numbers he’s doing on Spotify. Eminem is the only rapper who has more monthly listeners that Drake. Tellingly, Eminem is the only rapper who has sold more albums that Drake in terms of physical units. That being said, the 6 God has Slim Shady in the overall streams department. Em recently reached 50 billion overall streams on Spotify, which made him the second rapper to do so. Want to guess the first? You’re correct. Drake stands atop the Spotify all-time streams list with an eye popping 101 billion streams.
It gets better for Drizzy. The Toronto superstar recently broke another Spotify record. According to That Grape Juice, Drake became the first artist in history to have 17 individual songs pass one billion streams. “Jimmy Cooks,” the rapper’s number-one single from 2022, was the one that pushed it over the edge. He was previously tied for the Spotify record of 16 songs with Rihanna and Bad Bunny, but know he stands alone. And it sounds like new Drake music is right around the corner.
