Canadian rapper Drake is now the third most listened-to artiste in the world as he became the first rapper to surpass 80 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

The rapper reached his peak following the release of his new eighth solo studio album “For All The Dogs“.

According to reports, “For All The Dogs” is expected to earn Drake another number 1 spot on the US Billboard 200. If the projected sales figures of 420k hold, this will make it the fourth highest debuting project of 2023, following Morgan Wallen’s “One Thing At A Time,” Taylor Swift’s “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),” and just behind Travis Scott’s “UTOPIA.”

He is also expected to dominate the Hot 100 with his new album and he is expected to have much of the top 20 and almost the entire top 10 all to himself.
