Drake shared the news on his Instagram story, posting a screenshot of his conversation with his manager, Man like Morgan, who congratulated him on the milestone.
“One Dance is officially your First 3 Billion stream single, the 7th ever on Spotify. I remember walking into SOTA & your chalk board with the working track list for VIEWS, there was a song called ‘High Powered’. the song has 3,002,082,636 streams,” the Canadian wrote.
“One Dance” was the lead single from Drake’s fourth studio album, Views, which was released in April 2016.
The song is a fusion of dancehall, Afrobeats, and UK funky, and samples Kyla’s “Do You Mind”, produced by Crazy Cousinz.
The song topped the charts in 15 countries, including the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, and Nigeria. It also won several awards, including two Billboard Music Awards, an American Music Award, and a Grammy nomination.
The song is one of the most successful collaborations between Drake and Wizkid. The duo also worked together on Wizkid’s hit songs “Ojuelegba” remix and “Come Closer”.
