He might not have 1 or 2 global hits like an abel or ed sheeran does but he definitely has like dozens of songs with more than 200-300 million streams

I mean he’s been making popular songs since like 2011.

53 million monthly listeners isnt low but it’s weird that he’s more in the tier of a doja cat or dua lipa than a justin bieber or ed sheeran streaming wise. Pick a random Drake album and like 50-60% of the tracks are pretty f***ing popular

I cant name 5 ultra popular bieber songs

When was the last time Drake had a mega hit record? Anything he drops goes #1 of course but I feel like he peaked popularity wise in the Views era

cus he trash

God’s Plan was the last big one

drakes not a global artist like a lot of people think (he’s still big)

papi angels, ASSEMBLE!

we gotta work to do!

"I cant name 5 ultra popular bieber songs"

Only 53 million

He is. That’s one of the haters last Hail Marys to diminish him

His fans just don't know how to stream properly like Justin's

Ktt bubble

I admitted that

His last global hit was probably one dance/God’s plan/hotline bling

But he’s made up for that by literally having over 20 songs that if you go to any party in any city and put on everyone would be able to sing a long to.

So yea they might not be popular in like japan or whatever but still pretty popular

Everything from nice for what to wants and needs to whats next to way too sexy to nonstop

The list is quite literally almost endless

thread gonna do numbers

spotify monthly listeners is not a good metric

Drake makes good music

Spotify can’t be right…they say I only have 53 million listeners…ktt we got work to do

lol this discussing again... Drake is not that popular outside the Anglosphere

And these are just his listeners from the past 31 days. He didn't drop anything big recently (in 2022)

Only 53 mill monthly listeners is crazy to say .

I believe he might be bigger on apple then spotify but the pop artists will always be bigger because the reach is bigger. I love drake but on my work playlist there is hardly any drake on it. Bieber, Swift etc are playlist friendly for in the work envorinment no cursing, no hard beats etc it's pop music they are supposed to be bigger.

he def peaked in scorpion era bruh

Only 12 artist have higher streams than him and they probably just make music that fits Spotify’s algorithm better

This is a good point and might be a valid answer. I’m a drake fan so idc i still play album cuts from More Life but i see where you’re getting at

i still kinda disagree sure nice for what isn’t top of anyones playlist in 2022 but if its played ion think people would complain

And people definitely still play wants and needs at functions in my school but it’s a majority khak school 💀

cause clb was dookie butter like everything else hes made after more life

I saw a thread here the other day that said he was top 4 worldwide for last year

Spotify is also only one platform and its unique listeners in the past 28 days.

Dababys went up a lot when the song with dua dropped because its based on uniqe listeners. They could only stream one feature song and it would count lol.

Its not streams its unique listeners
