Drake Tops Spotify Global & U.S. as No. 1 Rapper for 2024

Drake had to fend off the “20-v-1” attack in the 2024 Rap Wars — but the battles didn’t hurt his Spotify streams … he’s maintained his place on the throne for all rappers!!!

On Wednesday, Drake came in as the closest rapper to Taylor Swift‘s record-breaking Spotify Wrapped, making him the platform’s top Hip Hop draw for the 8th year in a row!!!

While The Weeknd‘s fusion pop and Bad Bunny‘s Latin trap ranked higher overall … Drake was the platform’s most-streamed rapper on the Global and United States artists charts.

The stats are pretty remarkable considering he clashed with Kendrick Lamar, Future, Metro Boomin and Kanye West this year … who all ranked in the top 10 most-streamed rappers for ’24 in their own right.

The beef definitely fragmented the audience … Kendrick was Apple Music’s No. 1 artist this year, largely thanks to his mega-diss “Not Like Us” … but Drake’s 2025 is already looking golden.
