With over 170 million streams, Drake’s Scorpion just broke his own Apple Music all-time record for the most streams in a single day. The 6 God’s More Life playlist previously held the record with 89.9 million streams in its first day.
But according to Apple Music, the album also set a new record for the most single-day stream on all streaming services.
“Drake’s Scorpion has broken the all time first day streaming record with more than 170 million streams on Apple Music,” Apple relayed to HipHopDX via email. “That is also the most streams in a single day on any service, ever.”
Scorpion was released on Friday (June 29) and sold 122 million copies on Apple Music within 24 hours. It now holds both the U.S. and global streaming records for Apple. The service heavily promoted the album and even launched a site allowing users to create their own Scorpion cover art.
Scorpion also crushed Spotify’s single-day global record for album streams as well.
According to data on SpotifyCharts.com, the album pulled in 132,450,203 streams, over 50,000,000 more than Post Malone’s Beerbongs & Bentleys, which previously held the record with 78,744,748 streams globally on its first day of release. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Can some 1 tell Drake thank u from me thanks
It’s officially Drake SZN
How Sway??
Great music
Drake’s catalog is really on a whole different planet.
“Jaded”
Drake Is a supreme being.
Pusha L is crying his eyes out right now. His diss track only made Drake stronger than ever. If this is taking an L, then give me all the L’s in the world. He is unbeatable, untouchable, and unbelievable. All praise the 6ix God.
YOU SOUND SUPER MOIST!!!! GET A FATHER FIGURE IN YOUR LIFE!!!!
ovoqueer is that you!
So…we all know in this day and age…just cause it breaks records doesnt mean shit…its still garbage as fuck..all the people who streamed it purchased it were looking for pushat jabs and kanye subliminals anyways..so this article is irrelevent..

You mean just like his last album right? n the one before that? n the one before that? n th…never mind lol
“Only problems I do are math problems with profit
Only lyin’ I do is lyin’ out in the tropics
Only cryin’ I do is cryin’ from laughin’ ’bout it
Only rest that I do is “Where the rest of my commas?”
Why would you post that unless you were clowning Drake? Those lines are weak.
“STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM NOW WE HERE”
By the bottom you mean in a half a million dollar mansion growing up with pet ponies and shit, that fucking bottom.
He came from money and bought his way into Hip Hop.
Funny thing, Quentin Miller actually wrote that song. LOL
This is God’s Plan Drake you said it yourself!
Thanks Drake.
Ya smoking crack if you not rocking with this Drake tape
Congrats to Drake… doesn’t mean this album isn’t full of mediocrity. At least 16 tracks should have been tossed out

I don’t like the album……It sounds just like all his other albums………
This album sound and content ain’t nothing like his previous album.
all of this are fake ass comments, non real humans
Are you some kind of retard? Or did your whore mother drop you on your head?
Bad music tho
Ill fuck you up tho
Really? This the best you can come up with?
This would make sense if everyone I knew didnt love drake and if he wasnt regularly the most requested artists on every radio station. But good call man. Fuck your mother
Well, yeah. You are a cross dressing, hairdresser/ Canadian cockriding queer. Everyone you know is a fuckboy too. BTW, who ok a Hip-Hop site takes the radio seriously. Definitely not a Hip-Hop head. That turtleneck must be on too tight. Are you “upset” like your blackface hero? Hahaha. BTW, why does Drake have less money than Jay-Z, Puffy, Kanye, Dre? Or as many Grammys as most of those guys? He’s splitting his proceeds with the folk MAKING his shit and getting “handled” by baby! Hahahaha
You asked if I was upset but just look at how much effort you put into your response. Radio is everything thats why every artist does a “promo tour” and visits 1000 radio stations at album time and in between. So you know nothing. Answer is Drakes penis smacked you on the head 1000 times when you still in the womb. It all makes sense now. Plus Ill beat the dog shit out of you. Today. Ill show you handled you worthless sack of shit. Personally I dont give a shit about Drake, but I can see you do so Ill play devils advocate just to see you angrily write comments through a stream of tears and jaw clinching. My goodness your mom is a whore. But can I be your friend, Retard boy?
A cross dressing hairdresser? Daaaaamn go easy white dude.
I’m Puerto Rican. You don’t have those in that ice skating rink of a country.
Team Drizzy Forever!
This just the beginning fuckbois
Did the article say he sold over 122 million albums in one day or I just read that the wrong way?
It’s DX, the staning is borderline comedy. I have Spotify and Spotify hid the Carters album from the charts, new releases and featured list so it’s all a game. Remember Tyler complained about Tidal placing Meek on the home page and because the hear now counts towards a stream. I also think the reason that it’s double his previous record is because it’s a double album. I listened to it twice for a honest review and it’s an ok album but me listening that way counts towards his sales even if my interest was just to gauge the album. Physical copies sold is the real number and that’s for everybody.
This is the same thing the Carter’s did to Nas. They hid Nasir from the main page for days in TIDAL and had all of the top slots on the homepage dedicated to their album and videos. The also created a playlist of just their new album and had that 1st on the homepage. So I don’t feel bad for them at all. The pulled the same crap and they still flopped
Are you high? This album isn’t amazing by any stretch of the imagination! I’m a music fan so I respect his hustle and effort but give it a rest. 5 good songs and the rest sounds like a bunch of stuff that could have went on his last albums but was left off. Come on
Listen to “4eva Is a Mighty Long Time” if you want a more well constructed double album from a present day MC.
This album…..yo……drake sounds broken:/. Foreal, shit aint the same. Alot of the tracks feel like throw away records, jesus. This album was a 5.5 out of 10. Damn
Kyle Eus-eless. You are the biggest Drake groupie without a doubt.
Good for Drake, but sorry streams ain’t sh’t.
This is peak drake. I keep finding new bangers on this – How you gonna have a top 5 MC (push) reach as far as he possibly can to get intel on you, get betrayed by telling your “homies” (YE) about your son – and proceed to drop your best album ever? haters definitely wearing ear muffs or just staying in their moms basement until the scorpion wave settles lol… how’s that social justice warrior press run going for you terrance – Drake doesn’t do anything for the culture? The whole culture moving to this right now – just saying – only thing as live right now sonically is kool g’s verse w DOOM
Even better than Take Care?
definitely debatable fam!!!
Peak drake was Take Care and Nothing Was The Same. IF YOU READING THIS…. gets an honorable mention too. This Scorpion joint feels lifeless.
“It don’t matter to me what you saaaaay…..it don’t matter to me”
Right. Yet he has less money than rappers but sell fewer records and do fewer shows… all tem ghostwriters and Baby sure cost a lot…
Any time you listen to his wack ass shit on Spotify, it counts as a “Stream.” It’s not a sale. By these numbers, he would have made $60million in a day if he was getting .50 a stream. Well, maybe Baby is. Poor Drake. I actually feel sorry for dude after that Push track. He has less money than various other artists doing less numbers than he his, he KNOWS other people are writing his shit and taking a cut, and WE ALL KNOW that Baby is taking those royalties without using lube. He is still an exploited child actor playing a role. THE BLACKFACE MAKES SENSE…
Looks like push didn’t end shit. Keep wishing though.
Drake bigger than vanilla ice and everybody should go back to see how CDs & records an artist sells
Scorpion is ass. That song with Jigga is ass too and I’m HOV fan. It’s not even about Pusha T drake since VIEWS has been making weak music. Pusha T going after him and the guy rolling over after making that duppy crap speaks volume about his character he’s more calculating then he is an artist. So he will break a bunch of records with Scorpion but it won’t change that it’s ass.
