Drake wasted no time in making his presence felt.
Less than 24 hours after releasing his surprise trio of albums, the rapper broke three Spotify records in a single day, and that’s before you count what he did 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 won the title of most streamed album in a single day this year, while its opening track Make them cry got the most streamed song in a single day in 2026.
On Amazon Music, Iceman released the world’s largest 24-hour debut streaming for a hip-hop album in 2026, with all three discs combined delivering the world’s largest 24-hour debut streaming this year across all genres.
Outings, Iceman, Habibti And Bridesmaid, landed as a surprise Thursday night, though Iceman itself has been in the works and widely anticipated for about two years.
After his deadly public feud with Kendrick Lamar, Drake clearly had something to prove. The streaming numbers suggest, if nothing else, that the world was listening.
