He may have lost more than a few battles this year, but Drake is still winning the war on Spotify.
TMZ reports that the Canadian artist is the highest-ranking rapper on both the Global and United States artist charts for the 8th year in a row. The reveal on Wednesday (Dec. 4) is a part of this year’s Spotify Wrapped content.
On the overall U.S. chart, Drake placed second, behind pop megastar Taylor Swift. On the Global chart, he placed fourth, behind Swift, The Weeknd, and Bad Bunny.
The news serves as a high point on an otherwise stressful year for the “6 God,” emphasized by a series of high-profile beefs with Future, Metro Boomin, Ye, and most notably, Kendrick Lamar.
While Kendrick missed out on the top spot for Spotify, he was crowned as Apple Music’s most-streamed artist.
Meanwhile, Drake is preparing for his tour in Australia and New Zealand in the new year. The Anita Max Win Tour will kick off in February. Plus…there’s also that situation with his label. But that’s another story for another day.
