In the first half of 2026, Drake achieved significant streaming dominance, securing 80% of Spotify’s Global Impact List for Canadian artists. This success was driven by his triple-album project, ‘Iceman’, which included tracks such as ‘Maid of Honour’ and ‘Habibti’.

By late August 2026, Drake became the first artist in Spotify history to surpass 140 billion total streams, averaging approximately 57 million streams per day. His album ‘Iceman’ also achieved RIAA double-platinum certification in the United States after selling over two million units.
