Drake breaks 2026 Spotify records

Drake’s triple-album release is already off to a blazing start, with Spotify confirming on Friday that the rapper became the platform’s most-streamed artiste in a single day for 2026 following the release of Iceman and surprise companion projects Maid Of Honour and Habibti.

According to Spotify, Iceman also recorded the biggest single-day album streams of 2026 so far, while “Make Them Cry” achieved the same milestone among songs. The releases arrive at one of the most pivotal moments in Drake’s career, marking his first major solo body of work since his highly publicized, infamous feud with Kendrick Lamar in 2024.

The historic triple-album release by Drake is already generating major success, not only across U.S. charts but also dominating Apple Music in Jamaica, where all Top 12 spots are currently occupied by Drake songs, with “Make Them Cry,” “Dust,” and “Whisper My Name” leading the list. Overall, 16 of the Top 20 songs on the platform currently belong to the Canadian superstar, highlighting the overwhelming impact of the releases across the island’s streaming landscape.

Just hours after simultaneously dropping Iceman, Maid Of Honour, and Habibti on May 15, Drake secured the entire Top 3 on both the U.S. Apple Music Albums chart and the U.S. iTunes Albums chart. Iceman currently sits at No. 1, followed by Maid Of Honour at No. 2 and Habibti at No. 3, further cementing Drake’s dominance across digital music platforms as one of the most consumed artistes of all time.
