Drake becomes Spotify’s most-streamed artist in a single day. The One Dance singer just unexpectedly dropped three new studio albums and shocked the industry.
Canadian rapper Drake once again demonstrated his enormous impact on the music industry after becoming the most-streamed artist on Spotify in a single day in 2026. The achievement came just hours after the release of his new album, Iceman, a project that quickly dominated digital platforms and social media. Spotify confirmed that the artist broke streaming records on May 15, cementing one of the most successful comebacks of the year.
The release of Iceman didn’t come alone. Drake surprised his fans with the simultaneous release of three albums: Iceman, Habibti, and Maid of Honour, totaling 43 unreleased tracks. The strategy generated a massive surge in streaming and made the artist a worldwide trending topic within hours of release. Specialized media outlets highlighted that this ambitious move resulted in millions of streams in less than 24 hours.
Among all the projects, Iceman was the most relevant. The album became the most streamed album of the year in a single day on Spotify. At the same time, the song Make Them Cry topped the platform’s global streaming charts. The album’s sound blends Drake’s signature melancholic style with more aggressive production and direct references to the controversies that marked his last year in the music industry.
