Drake Takes Over 80 Percent Of Spotify Global Impact Canadian List
The 6 God claims 40 of 50 spots on the streaming giant's mid-year international chart following his massive triple-album release.

Drake isn't just competing in the global streaming market—he is completely running the board. Spotify officially released its Global Impact List for the first half of 2026, measuring the most-played songs by Canadian artists listened to outside of their native country. Unsurprisingly, the Toronto superstar claimed almost the entire chart for himself. According to reported figures from Spotify, Champagne Papi secured a staggering 40 out of the 50 total spots on the mid-year ranking. That gives the hip-hop titan an incredible 80 percent command over the entire lineup. To make his dominance even more absolute, he swept the chart's top 12 spots without letting any other Canadian artist break into the top tier.
What is Drake's top song on Spotify right now Leading the massive charge at No. 1 is "Janice SFTU," a smash hit that the streaming giant has already singled out as a prime contender for the official song of the summer. Drake didn't stop at the top spot, either. He rounded out the rest of the top five with "National Treasures" taking No. 2, "Shabang" grabbing No. 3, "Whisper My Name" claiming No. 4, and his high-powered collaboration "Ran To Atlanta"—featuring guest appearances from Future and Molly Santana—sitting at No. 5. The 6 God even bookends the entire 50-song catalog, claiming the final position on the list with "Rust Intro" taking No. 50. The overwhelming presence proves that international audiences are consuming his newest music in massive volume across every single market.

Why is Drake dominating the 2026 music charts This unprecedented chart takeover follows the rapper's monumental *Iceman* rollout. The ambitious era expanded into a massive triple-album drop that also included *Maid of Honour* and *Habibti*, providing fans with a massive catalog of fresh tracks to stream on repeat around the globe. His international success builds right on top of his domestic dominance. Last year, the rapper was officially crowned Spotify's most-streamed artist inside Canada. Now, the mid-year 2026 figures show that his global footprint is just as powerful, leaving only 10 spots on the entire list for every other Canadian musician combined across genres like country, indie, and alternative music.
