Previously, the Canadian rapper had become the second rapper to cross over 100 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

Other than him, Kendrick Lamar is the only rapper to achieve the feat.

Bruno Mars and Ariana Grande, though, are far ahead of Drake in monthly listeners on Spotify.

Iceman, meanwhile, is credited with exploding Drake's stats.

On Spotify alone, the streamer streamed 450.4 million worldwide in its debut week.

In addition, the Iceman has also become the most-streamed album globally in its opening week.

His latest album joined the ranks of rap juggernauts such as his own smash-hit albums Certified Lover Boy and Scorpion, as well as Travis Scott's Utopia and Playboi Carti's Music.
