\n\t\u201cOn May 15th, Drake became Spotify\u2019s most-streamed artist of 2026 in a single day, ICEMAN became the most-streamed album of 2026 in a single day, and \u2018Make Them Cry\u2019 became the most-streamed song in a single day in 2026 so far,\u201d Spotify announced across their social channels late Friday.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe trio of albums marks Drake\u2019s first solo project since 2023\u2019s For All the Dogs. Last year, he released Some Sexy Songs 4 U, a joint album with fellow Canadian musician PARTYNEXTDOOR.<\/p>\n

\n\tBefore the Iceman arrival, BTS\u2019 ARIRANG<\/a> became the platform\u2019s 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 \u201cMake Them Cry.\u201d In an Instagram Stories clip posted by BTS\u2019 V on Friday, he\u2019s hanging out with J-Hope, dancing while listening to the song, when Drizzy spits, \u201cI\u2019m feeling like BTS, \u2019cause it took the whole career for me to be so discovered.\u201d The two performers freeze and simultaneously look at the camera, stunned.<\/p>\n
