Drake Becomes First Artist to Surpass 125B Spotify Streams

drake 125b spotify streams

Drake 125B Spotify streams milestone has made him the first act to cross roughly 125 billion total plays on the platform, as Spotify’s 2025 Wrapped also ranks him among the year’s biggest global artists.​

A new all-time Spotify mark

Drake’s cumulative Spotify streams have climbed to about 125.1 billion across his full catalog, including songs where he is the lead artist and where he appears as a featured act.​
The same dataset shows Drake drawing roughly 55.5 million daily streams, underscoring how older hits and deep cuts continue to perform alongside newer releases.​
Because Spotify does not publish a single “all-time total streams” leaderboard inside Wrapped, industry watchers often rely on public chart aggregators that compile Spotify’s track-level totals into artist rollups.​

Drake’s totals by credit type

Kworb’s compilation breaks Drake’s total into about 85.5 billion streams as lead and 39.6 billion streams as a featured artist, highlighting how collaborations and guest verses contribute materially to his platform footprint.​

Why this matters in 2025

Spotify’s official 2025 Wrapped recap places Drake fourth among the platform’s top five global artists for the year—alongside Bad Bunny (No. 1), Taylor Swift (No. 2), The Weeknd (No. 3), and Billie Eilish (No. 5).​
In the same Wrapped post, Spotify said Bad Bunny led the year with 19.8 billion streams in 2025, showing how annual “most-streamed” leadership can differ from all-time catalog scale.​
Taken together, Drake’s 125B Spotify streams record and his 2025 Wrapped positioning point to two parallel realities of streaming: year-by-year momentum and long-horizon catalog accumulation.​

Where Drake ranks all-time (Spotify)

The latest all-time totals compiled by Kworb list Drake at No. 1, ahead of Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny by total Spotify streams.​

Rank Artist Total Spotify streams (all-time)
1 Drake 125.0809B ​
2 Taylor Swift 117.3622B ​
3 Bad Bunny 111.4945B ​
4 The Weeknd 88.2557B ​
5 Justin Bieber 69.7372B ​

The catalog behind the numbers

Drake’s record-setting total is powered by unusually large, replay-heavy projects that keep generating daily volume years after release.​
Based on album-level totals compiled by Kworb, multiple Drake projects have surpassed 3 billion Spotify streams, with Views and Scorpion both above 11 billion.​
Kworb’s album list also shows that the way platforms and data trackers separate deluxe/alternate versions can affect how many “3B+ projects” are counted, because the same era can appear in multiple editions.​

Her Loss 3.9575B ​
For All The Dogs 3.9018B ​
If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late 3.8284B ​

Final Thoughts

Drake’s 125B Spotify streams threshold signals a rare level of decade-plus replay, where older albums, singles, and features collectively keep compounding into new peaks.​

At the same time, Spotify’s 2025 Wrapped shows that the annual “top artist” race remains competitive, with Drake still in the global top tier even as Bad Bunny leads the year’s streaming count.​

The next milestones to watch are whether Drake widens the all-time gap at No. 1 and how his yearly rank shifts in future Wrapped cycles as new releases from the biggest global acts reshape listening patterns.​
