Drake has wasted no time making his case.
Less than 24 hours after dropping his surprise trio of albums, the rapper has broken three Spotify records in a single day, and that’s before counting what he’s been up to on Amazon Music.
As of Friday afternoon, Drake had become the most streamed artist in a single day on Spotify in 2026.
His ninth album Iceman claimed the title of the most streamed album in a single day this year, while its opening track Make them cry secured the most streamed song in a single day in 2026.
On Amazon Music, Iceman posted the biggest first 24-hour streaming debut globally for a hip-hop album in 2026, with all three records combined for the biggest overall first 24-hour streaming debut globally this year across any genre.
The publications, Iceman, Habibti and maid of honor however, landed as a surprise on Thursday night Iceman itself had been in the works and widely expected for about two years.
Coming off the back of his bruising public feud with Kendrick Lamar, Drake clearly had something to prove. At least the streaming numbers suggest the world was listening.
