Internet reactions as Drake becomes the first artist to surpass 120 billion Spotify streams

Pop Crave took to their official X (formerly Twitter) page to announce that,

"Drake becomes the first artist in history to surpass 120 billion total streams on Spotify."

Fans were notably quick to weigh in on the comment section of the X post as they shared their opinions on this report. Below are some of their remarks:

"Despite new releases, he remains the #1 most streamed artist on Spotify USA yesterday. This marks 16 consecutive days at #1.", noted a netizen.

"120 billion streams… that is insane. Love him or hate him, he has been the most consistent artist of our generation. To stay on top for over a decade, break records year after year, and still dominate streaming like this is unheard of. People forget how rare that kind of longevity is in music, most artists get a couple of hits, then fade. Drake turned himself into a global soundtrack, and the numbers prove it.", penned another.

"Drake crossing 120 billion total streams on Spotify is an absolutely historic milestone and a testament to just how dominant he’s been for over a decade. Very few artists manage to stay relevant for a few years, let alone consistently break records across multiple eras of music the way he has. What makes this number so staggering is the balance he is struck between massive global hits and deep cuts that fans still return to, his catalog isn’t just successful, it’s generational. From *Take Care* to *Views* to *Her Loss* and beyond, Drake has continuously reinvented himself while keeping that signature sound that connects with audiences everywhere. This achievement doesn’t just cement his place at the top of streaming—it sets a benchmark for what’s possible in the digital era. Love him or hate him, there’s no denying that Drake is one of the most influential and culture-shaping artists of all time, and 120 billion streams only reinforces that legacy.", detailed a third.

Others also chimed in:

"Hate him as u want, but u can't deny that he is one of the greatest artists ever. Drake - 120+ billion 🥂 The Weeknd - 90-100 billion Bad Bunny - 80-90 billion Ed Sheeran - 75-85 billion Taylor Swift - 70-80 billion", shared a fan.

"120 billion streams? That is more times played than there are stars in the Milky Way or tears cried to Marvin’s Room. He did not just break the record; he gave it trust issues.", opined another.

"Wow Drake hitting 120 Billion total streams on Spotify is a big accomplishment for him congrats", congratualted a third.

Notably, an unreleased Drake collaboration with UK rapper Central Cee, titled Triumph Tower, recently surfaced online. The leak reportedly dates back to the Her Loss sessions with 21 Savage. The Canadian rapper's next solo album, ICEMAN, is also awaited. However, there is no officially confirmed release date yet.
