How Drake Became World’s Most Popular Pop Artist- Drake’s Success Story

In March, Aubrey 'Drake' Graham had his 208th hit record on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Lil Yachty and DaBaby's appearance on Oprah's Bank Account followed several major releases from the rapper, including his first hit single Best I Ever Had, in 2009, Hotline Bling in 2015, and a guest appearance on Rihanna's 2016 blockbuster Work. Pain 1993, featuring Playboi Carti, earned Drake's 38th top-10 hit in the US in May, matching Queen of Pop Madonna. Drake is so wealthy that one mattress in his 50,000-square-foot, $100 million Toronto mansion, dubbed The Embassy, costs $400,000. (included in the price is someone who visits the property to turn it over).

It's one thing for a non-American rapper to make such an impact in hip-hop, but Drake transcends the genre. With over 28 billion streams, he was Spotify's most-streamed artist of the decade. All five of his albums, as well as three of his mixtapes, have charted at number one in the United States and around the world. He was the first artist on Apple Music to reach 10 billion streams, and he was the most-streamed musician on Spotify in 2018, with 8.2 billion. Drake is almost sure to smash more records in 2020, thanks to a new mixtape (Dark Lane Demo Tapes) and an upcoming album anticipated this summer.
