The station that charted Drake most often is Triple J (Australia (national)), with 10 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2018.
Drake, born Aubrey Drake Graham in Toronto in 1986, first showed up on TV screens as Jimmy Brooks on Degrassi: The Next Generation, and then he did something much bigger: he made singing and rapping the same thing, and brought R&B's soft underbelly into hip-hop. The mixtapes Room for Improvement, Comeback Season and So Far Gone got him to Young Money, and his debut, Thank Me Later, opened at number one on the Billboard 200.
Take Care and Nothing Was the Same made him the sound of late-night brooding, but Views, in 2016, is where he swallowed the world whole: 13 weeks at number one, and "One Dance", a light, lilting dancehall-tinged groove, became the first song to pass 1 billion streams on Spotify. "Hotline Bling" and "Too Good" came off the same album. Scorpion followed in 2018 with "God's Plan" and "Nice for What".
He has never let up. Honestly, Nevermind, For All the Dogs and $ome $exy $ongs 4 U kept the hits coming into the 2020s, alongside a business empire built around his OVO Sound label. Along the way he has sold more than 170 million units and collected 5 Grammy Awards, and Billboard named him Artist of the Decade for the 2010s.
