When it comes to dominating the music industry, two Canadian powerhouses, The Weeknd and Drake, are frequently compared.
The closing chapter of 2023 witnessed Abel, popularly known as The Weeknd, triumph over Drake as his chart-topping single “Starboy” surpassed Drake’s “One Dance” on Spotify’s all-time charts.
According to reports from Pop Crave, “Starboy” secured the sixth position on Spotify’s list of the most-streamed songs of all time, boasting over an impressive 2.9 billion streams.
This achievement pushed Drake’s hit, “One Dance,” down to the seventh spot, marking a significant milestone in The Weeknd’s musical journey.
In a surprising twist, Spotify’s top streaming artists for 2023, revealed last month, showcased The Weeknd at the third position. Despite not releasing a new album in 2023, Abel demonstrated his enduring popularity with an impressive streaming performance.
Meanwhile, Drake, the 6 God himself, closely followed at the fourth spot with a remarkable 11 billion streams.
