Drake is back to his record-setting ways.

On Friday (May 15), Spotify announced that Drake has set the single-day records for most-streamed artist, album, and song on the platform in 2026, thanks to his first new solo project since 2023.

The single-day 2026 album honor goes to Iceman — one of three albums the rapper dropped first thing Friday, in addition to surprise releases Maid of Honour and Habibti — and the single-day 2026 song honor is for “Make Them Cry,” the opening track on Iceman.

“On May 15th, Drake became Spotify’s most-streamed artist of 2026 in a single day, ICEMAN became the most-streamed album of 2026 in a single day, and ‘Make Them Cry’ became the most-streamed song in a single day in 2026 so far,” Spotify announced across their social channels late Friday.

The trio of albums marks Drake’s first solo project since 2023’s For All the Dogs. Last year, he released Some Sexy Songs 4 U, a joint album with fellow Canadian musician PARTYNEXTDOOR.

Before the Iceman arrival, BTS’ ARIRANG became the platform’s most-streamed album in a single day in 2026 upon its release in March. Coincidentally, Drake name-drops the South Korean boy band on his new project, specifically on the Spotify-record-setting “Make Them Cry.” In an Instagram Stories clip posted by BTS’ V on Friday, he’s hanging out with J-Hope, dancing while listening to the song when Drizzy spits, “I’m feeling like BTS, ’cause it took the whole career for me to be so discovered.” The two performers freeze and simultaneously look at the camera, stunned.
