Drake is riding the success of his latest albums, which have skyrocketed his streaming figures.

Now, he has hit a milestone that, apart from him, only one rapper has achieved: crossing over 100 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

Kendrick Lamar, with whom Drizzy had a well-known beef, is another.

Though the Toronto rap star is still behind other artists such as Bruno Mars and Ariana Grande.

The stunning milestone comes after Drake topped several charts from his latest album, in particular, Iceman.

The album has become one of the biggest hits of 2026.

Its figures exploded, reaching a whopping 450.4 million global Spotify streams in the first week.

This staggering number put Drake's Iceman behind BTS' Arirang, released in 2026.

In addition, Iceman has hit other records as well.

For example, during the debut week, Drizzy's album has become Spotify's most-streamed album globally.

The album shares a stage in rap history with Travis Scott's Utopia, Playboi Carti's Music, and Drake's other albums, such as Certified Lover Boy and Scorpion, which scored big streaming totals in their debut week.
