Drake had a very successful 2018!
Last year, Drake broke tons of records for his fifth album “Scorpion”! From viral trends, to giving away 1 million dollars the album reached a whole new level!
IFPI, the organization that represents the recorded music industry worldwide, has now named him the world’s best-selling recording artist of 2018. This isn’t the first time he has been given the title… Back in 2016 he was also named the best-selling artist!
“Drake has had an incredible, record-breaking year, one that is more than worthy of the title of Global Recording Artist of the Year,” says Frances Moore, chief executive of IFPI. “That Drake has won this award for the second time is testament to his continued global appeal and his ability to engage and connect with fans.”
This is based on sales of albums across digital, CD and vinyl formats; singles, both downloaded and physical; and streams across the calendar year.
