Drake’s 2016 global hit “One Dance”, featuring Nigerian superstar Wizkid and British singer Kyla, has surpassed four billion streams on Spotify, cementing its status as one of the most-streamed songs in the platform’s history.
A Historic Streaming Milestone
The song was released as the lead single from Drake’s fourth studio album, Views, and quickly became a worldwide sensation. In 2016, “One Dance” made history by becoming the first song ever to reach one billion streams on Spotify.
Enduring Global Appeal
Rather than fading with time, the record has continued to attract consistent listeners across multiple regions. Reaching the four-billion-stream milestone highlights its long-term global appeal.
Wizkid and Afrobeats’ Global Breakthrough
Wizkid’s appearance on the track marked a defining moment for Afrobeat music on the international stage. His contribution later saw him become the first African artiste to surpass ten billion total streams across Spotify.
Musically, “One Dance” blends dancehall rhythms with Afrobeat influences and pop structure, helping it resonate across continents.
