Drake Dominates 80% of Spotify’s Global Impact List for the First Half of 2026

Highlighting the most-played Canadian artists outside of the country, the list includes 40 entries from the Toronto rapper alongside hits by rising Canadian stars Cameron Whitcomb, Shubh, bbno$ and Angine de Poitrine.

Drake continues to rule streaming. After being crowned as the Spotify’s most-streamed artist in Canada last year, the streaming service has released its Global Impact List for the first half of 2026, revealing the 50 most-played songs by Canadian artists outside of their home country. To no one’s surprise, the Toronto rapper has 40 of the 50 spots, including the top 12.

Thanks to the rapper’s historic Iceman release — which included a triple-album drop with Maid of Honour and Habibti — Drake commands a whopping 80% of the list, led by his chart-topping hit, “Janice SFTU,” which the streaming platform already tapped as one of its song-of-the-summer contenders. It’s followed by “National Treasures,” the Maneesh-produced “Shabang,” “Whisper My Name” and “Ran To Atlanta,” featuring Future and Molly Santana, to round out the top 5. He wraps up the list, too, with “Rust Intro” at No. 50.
