Drake continues to break all the records.

Drake is easily one of the biggest artists of all time. Whenever he drops a new project, you can be sure that he will sell over 500K units in the first week. Moreover, he typically always goes number one, unless he is going up against Taylor Swift. Overall, his streaming numbers are also massive. He is constantly breaking new records on platforms like Tidal, Spotify, and of course, Apple Music. With each passing day, it feels like Drizzy is breaking some sort of record, and that is not slowing down, at all.

For instance, according to HipHopDX, Drake just hit a milestone that has never been achieved in the history of Spotify. This week, Drizzy hit a total of 95 billion streams. Overall, these are unfathomable numbers. Very few artists have hit 1 billion streams as a whole. However, Drake has managed to do that 95 times over. This is thanks to numerous multi-billion-stream songs and some of the biggest albums in hip-hop. At this point, no one can stop Drizzy's monumental trajectory.
