That’s how much Drake earns from 50 billion streams on Spotify

New world record
Drake has now had five number one albums and was able to record incredible success with “Thank Me Later”, “Take Care”, “Nothing Was the Same”, “Views” and “Scorpion”. The Canadian superstar is currently even preparing the release of his next long player, and according to his colleague Charlie Puth das Werk “Certified Lover Boy” on Friday, January 22nd, 2021. The four-time GRAMMY winner has not yet spoken out about that coup. Instead, Drake is currently celebrating another milestone:

Like the US archive “ChartMasters“Had confirmed in mid-January 2021, Drake is the first artist in the history of the streaming service Spotify, which not only generated 50 billion clicks, but had also overcome such a milestone.

The Canadian is said to have accumulated 35,704,203,269 views single-handedly, while another 14,297,795,559 streams were created thanks to collaborations such as “POPSTAR” with DJ Khaled and “Life Is Good” with Future. With over 51.5 million monthly users, who stream his 222 tracks around the clock, this world record was almost in sight … By the way, Ed Sheeran is in second place among the most successful artists on the Swedish service with almost 30 billion streams of his 185 songs , while Post Malone received an impressive 34.3 billion views thanks to 62 uploads.

That’s how much Drake deserves
Drake’s most successful tracks on Spotify are called “God’s Plan” and “One Dance”, have been listened to over 3.6 billion times and landed in the top 11 most streamed uploads on the app. Those calls secured the Canadian earnings of at least 18,070,410 and 25,298,574 euros.

If you look at his entire musical catalog, all 222 tracks uploaded and over 50 billion clicks on Spotify, the streaming service would cost the Canadian between 248,161,500 and 347,426,100 euros [errechnet aus $0.006 / $0.0084 pro Stream in Euro] have paid out … The artist has to deduct almost half of that amount in taxes and pay all songwriters, producers and participating musicians. His management also gets a cut of around 20 percent as well as his own label, which had entered into a deal in cooperation with Cash Money Records, Young Money Entertainment and Universal Music.

But what is left for the “One Dance” interpreter after all the deliveries? According to the business magazine Forbes Drake was able to amass a fortune of 124 million euros in 2019 and continues to generate a monthly sum that we can only dream of.
