Drake has been named Spotify’s #1 rapper globally and in the U.S. for 2024, marking the eighth consecutive year he’s dominated the platform. Despite facing fierce competition from Kendrick Lamar, Future, Kanye West, Metro Boomin, and others, Drake remained hip-hop’s top streaming artist, trailing only global stars like Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, and Bad Bunny in overall Spotify streams.
The year wasn’t without challenges. Drake faced significant industry rivalries, including a public clash with Kendrick Lamar, who topped Apple Music’s charts thanks to his viral diss track, “Not Like Us.” Still, Drake’s widespread appeal and ability to draw audiences secured his position as a streaming giant.
Adding to his success, Drake’s Australian tour continues to expand due to high demand. With these achievements, he’s poised for another monumental year in 2025.
Drake’s consistent presence atop Spotify’s Wrapped rankings underscores his unparalleled influence in the music industry, maintaining his place as a hip-hop icon while navigating ongoing competition.
