A new Drake album was always going to be popular, despite what you think of the rapper’s music. But Scorpion has exceeded all expectations and become the first album to be streamed 1 billion times in a week. 

This is according to Billboard, the music heavyweight that has recently changed the way it makes its charts, giving streams more weighting given this is how most consume their music now. It also reports that Drake has become the biggest artist to be streamed in the US in any given week, knocking Post Malone’s Beerbongs & Bentleys from the top spot - it managing just 413.3 million streams to Drake’s mighty 750 million.
