Drake Shatters Spotify Record with ‘Make Them Cry’, Surpassing Kendrick Lamar

At one point in time, it seemed as though the record set by Kendrick Lamar with ‘Not Like Us’ would remain untouchable. However, the landscape of streaming dominance shifted dramatically after Drake released his latest project, Iceman, alongside two additional albums on the same day.

With a record-shattering 13.2 million streams in a single day on Spotify for the track ‘Make Them Cry,’ Drake has officially established a new benchmark for the biggest streaming day for a hip-hop song. This achievement effectively surpasses the high bar previously set by Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us.’

Featuring the iconic imagery of a Michael Jackson glove on the cover, the project has seen immediate commercial success, reinforcing Drake’s position as one of the most widely consumed artists in the genre. While these numbers provide a strong testament to his enduring popularity, the artist continues to navigate a competitive landscape. It remains to be seen how this momentum will shape what is already being described as a culture-defining moment.
