Drake Dethrones Justin Bieber as Spotify’s Most Streamed Artist

Drake is on a roll this year.

Not only is his new album ‘Views’ spending ANOTHER week atop the Billboard 200 chart, he’s just become Spotify’s most-streamed artist of all time.

via Billboard:

The milestone is especially impressive given the limited time that the whole of Drake’s new record, Views, has been available on the platform — less than a week. Its first two weeks were spent as an Apple Music exclusive, yielding a streaming record of 245.1 million listens in the U.S. during the record’s first tracking week. (That sum includes plays of the album’s songs on Apple Music, as well as the handful of songs from the set that were available at other streaming services like Spotify.)  Views quickly sold more than a million copies (1.03 million) in two weeks’ time, and it is the first album released in 2016 to surpass 1 million copies sold. Only two albums have sold more than a million this year: Views, and Adele’s 25, which was released in 2015.

Kudos to Drake.
