Congrats to Drake, 40 & Oliver!
Prior to Drake’s Scorpion album releasing, many were expecting the project to make some type of history – given the hype leading up to its effort. With the double-disc release receiving favorable responses, OVO Sound gets to celebrate one of their biggest accomplishments ever.
Scorpion has broken the all-time 24-hour streaming record on all music services. While JAY-Z’s Tidal service is yet to reveal numbers, Apple Music and Spotify shared their numbers to the public.
The Boy garnered a combined 300 million (and counting) streams for the project on both services, including being streamed 10 million times an hour on Spotify alone. Next week, we expect Drake to have the biggest release of the entire year, once the sales are released.
Take a look at the numbers breakdown below.
