Drake‘s ‘Views’ album is undoubtedly the year’s biggest success story, and he’s still adding fresh pages.
Despite changing tides in the industry, the Canadian continues to prove himself a formidable force – both with pure sales and streaming.
And today he’s reached a major milestone with the latter.
Full story below…
Taking to Instagram moments ago, Drizzy revealed that the LP has become the first project to hit ONE BILLION streams on Apple Music.
It’s quite the coup for execs from the tech giant, who presented the rapper with a commemorative plaque. Peep him posing with Apple’s Tim Cook and Larry Jackson below…
Drake has been at the forefront of the Apple Music movement and, despite the service trailing Spotify, it spearheaded the year’s biggest release – which is an indisputable win.
With a visual component unveiled today in the form of ‘Please Forgive Me,’ one has to imagine more successes lay ahead.

A flops saving grace ?
Three out of the 6 are slaying on Pure sales, while the other three are flops who need streams to stay afloat. Can anyone name those three flops ?
Hive mad as s***! The tour is lemonade a saving grace
Wow, i did not even know lemonade has been streamed that many times. If only she put it on spotify she would have easily passed a billion. Beyonce is a streaming force and i don’t even think she knows that yet.
Drakiesha is giving up that a** to everybody….
Sigh, streaming is so pathetic. A flops saving grace.
As for Drake, he has the worst album of the yr.
Who cares? But hey Views and Lemonade are platinum in actual sales so they’re slaying FLOPti.
LOL BUT ANTI CONTINUES TO MAKE HISTORY WHILE KOOLAID CONTINUES TO GET PIISSED IN LMAO.
shows how irrelevant this is. repeaters? how many bots and loopers did that? or is the album subscribed over a couple of months? those streaming numbers are BS. fake pride. he’s just the first cause he could maybe still be ‘selling’ more when everybody wants to stream now.
lol a certain fan-base is about to seethe endlessly. Here for it 🙂
LOL THE BUGS NEST JUST CAN’T TAKE THE FACT THAT DRAKE HAS BEEN PIISSING IN KOOLAID ALL YEAR LONG LMAO.
Kii!
And everyone seems to be throwing Feces at Perfect Delusion. How’s it doing on the charts? Has it re-entered the Top 10 of Itunes. Lemonslayed is coming for Artflops sales ???? we see why you’re mad!
That’s success right there. Folks need to stop hating on streaming. It doesn’t matter if you post huge sales or huge streaming numbers. Either way, it means somebody likes your music. What about the majority of artists who aren’t racking up sales or streams?
girl bye!
.
tell me when he sell 2,000,000 copies
Who’s impressed by free streams? Lol…. See quite a few of these artists sale well in pure sales too.. But Drake is doing his thing.
How it it free when you have to PAY for an apple music subscription? Don’t be stupid dude
Yeah, but you get the free trial first tho and you can leave after that. Just like what most people do with tidal..
Damn Drizzy!! Congrats on that!
Nice
Work on your craft and watch people cue up to BUY your album.
