Drake is still dominating the sales charts.
Drake reportedly remains the top-selling hip-hop artist of 2024 by album units, despite not putting out a single album this year. Chart Data shared the ranking on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, showing the Toronto rapper as the highest-selling artist.
The new report comes after DJ Akademiks predicted that 80-85 percent of Drake’s current streams are coming from projects that dropped years ago. “Also, he leveraged the fact that they’re eating so much off of his back catalog,” Ak expressed on one of his recent streams. “That dropping frequently helps the back catalog. And, by the way, 80 to 85 percent of Drake’s current streams is from albums that dropped over six years ago. And I’m being very fair here.”
