50 billion.
This impressive figure is that of the record for streams on Spotify, which a certain Drake exceeded.
The Canadian rapper is one of the most popular artists on the platform and the fact that he is particularly prolific has allowed him to overtake his competitors, such as Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran or Ariana Grande.
According to the Chart Data site, nearly 36 billion of those plays are for songs by the star, while the remaining 14 billion are collaborations with other artists.
His single
God's Plan
, released in 2018, alone generated 1.67 billion streams.
Always stronger
Drake seems very proud, since he posted a message on his social networks to congratulate himself on this record.
Even his colleague Future congratulated him via Twitter, with a post in which he seemed very impressed.
“50 billion streams woooow, congratulations to this guy!
He wrote.
The good news is that Drake is expected to further consolidate his lead in the record books in the coming months or years, as he will be releasing his new album,
Certified Lover Boy
, before the end of the month.
Last November, during a live on Instagram, the Canadian confessed that he was convinced that his new album was going to be highly criticized, like his album
Views
, released in 2016. But obviously, criticized or not, his songs continue to be be listened to repeatedly on Spotify, so Drake has nothing to worry about.
