Shania, Celine, Pink Floyd, Ed Sheeran, the Beatles, Elvis, Aerosmith, Eminem, Adele, Babs all take a back seat to Drizzy, according to a new sales survey, published by 24/7 Wall Street.


As published Tuesday in the financial news and commentary portal, and after having assessed data culled from RIAA stats, the report shows Drake has surpassed the Beatles to become the top certified artist of all time, thanks largely to his many successful singles. The 11x platinum God’s Plan is his best-selling single to date, followed by Hotline Bling and One Dance, both of which have been certified 8x platinum. He has won four Grammy Awards and performed at the ceremony.

A Course Focusing On Drake Is Coming to Montreal's Concordia University This Fall

"Drake: Media, Myth and Manhood" is taught by Yassin "Narcy" Alsalman and will use Drake's catalogue, career, OVO brand and more as a lens for exploring art, power relations, celebrity and culture.

Class is in session, and Drake is the subject.

This fall, Montreal's Concordia University will be offering a special edition of its FFAR 256 "Hip-Hop: Past/Present/Future" course titled "Drake: Media, Myth and Manhood," focusing on the Toronto rapper's career and global impact. Drake is the latest hip-hop or comedy star to become a case study for the fine arts elective, which has previously been centred around the careers of Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Dave Chappelle and more.
