How big are Drake Spotify streams in 2026?

Drake has collected more than 17 billion Spotify streams in 2026, counting every song he leads or features on. The Source reported that the figure makes him only the second artist in any genre to reach that number this year and the most-streamed rapper on the platform. The report did not name the artist in first place.

The daily pace explains the total. A Drake Spotify Data post dated October 14, 2026 said his catalog drew 42,053,528 streams on Monday, October 12 alone. Back in March, Drake was already reported to have passed 4 billion streams in the first 77 days of the year.

Hip Hop All Day said Drake is “set to have the biggest hip hop streaming year of all-time.” That is a projection, not a confirmed record. Spotify has not published official full-year numbers for 2026.

What record did HABIBTI break on Billboard?

HABIBTI rose from No. 35 to No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart dated October 17, 2026, Billboard reported on October 14. It earned 71,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the tracking week of October 2 to October 8, up 506%, according to Luminate.

The win is Drake’s 18th No. 1 on that chart. It breaks a three-way tie at 17 with Future and The Temptations, which leaves Drake alone at the top of the all-time list.

The same week, “Solar Eclipse” with Don Toliver became Drake’s 33rd No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, extending his own record. On the all-genre Billboard 200, HABIBTI climbed 114 places to No. 2, tying its peak. About 70,000 of its units came from streaming. Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl held No. 1 for a 14th week with 93,000 units.
