Drake most streamed artist on Spotify is the standing headline again on November 8, 2026, as the Toronto star leads the platform’s daily chart with 59.8 million streams in the latest day of data. The same update, published by SpotifyStats on November 8, puts his career total at 144.2 billion streams, the highest all-time figure the tracker records.
Drake most streamed artist on Spotify, daily and all time
The daily table is not close. Drake’s 59.8 million streams sit well clear of the field, and his Toronto peer The Weeknd ranks fourth on the day at 41.7 million, giving Canada two of the four most played artists on the platform in the same 24-hour window. On the all-time table the order reads Drake at 144.2 billion, with The Weeknd fourth among the leaders at 99.9 billion career streams. Two artists from the same city holding two of the top four seats on both tables is the kind of fact that needs no decoration.

“Drake holds No. 1 for a second straight week as the entire Top 5 stands still.” iimiTV Canadian Chart, week of October 31, 2026
The Canadian chart tells the same story
The global lead has a local mirror. On the iimiTV Canadian Chart dated October 31, 2026, Drake’s Janice STFU repeated at No. 1 with 384 points, built on a No. 5 rank at Apple Music Canada and a No. 13 rank at Spotify Canada, and Drake led 15 of the 20 published positions. The song is the fourth track from his album Iceman, released May 15, 2026. In other words, the catalogue and the current album are pulling at the same time, which is exactly how a daily number near 60 million sustains itself.
Catalogue depth does the heavy lifting
Daily streaming crowns are rarely won by one song. They are won by depth: multiple eras of a catalogue being played at once, by listeners who arrived in different years and stayed. Drake’s 144.2 billion total is the accumulated version of that depth, and the November 8 daily figure shows the catalogue is not coasting on old plays. The Weeknd’s position on the same tables underlines the point for the city. Toronto’s two biggest streaming exports are not taking turns at the top of the platform’s daily life. They are sharing it.
Daily streams and monthly listeners tell two stories
One nuance is worth keeping straight. The daily and all-time stream tables measure plays, while Spotify’s monthly listener count measures reach, and the two crowns currently sit in different places. A separate live ranking by SocialCrawl, also read on November 8, 2026, puts Bruno Mars first on monthly listeners at 125 million, The Weeknd third at about 117 million and Drake seventh at about 93.8 million. Drake leading on total plays while trailing on unique listeners is the signature of a catalogue played repeatedly by a committed audience, which is precisely the audience a 144.2 billion total is built from.
Streaming trackers update daily and the lead will move again, but the all-time table moves slowly, and 144.2 billion is a moat. For now the answer to the most basic question in streaming, who gets played the most, remains a Toronto answer, today and across the whole history of the platform.
