Earlier today, Drake faced a setback as his 2011 album “Take Care” narrowly missed the diamond certification mark, but for the Toronto rap sensation, challenges are just stepping stones to greater heights. Unfazed by the hiccup, Drake has something major to celebrate—his smash hit “One Dance” has officially joined the exclusive 3 billion streams club, marking a historic milestone in his illustrious career.

In a light-hearted moment, Drake received congratulations from his OVO Sound president, humorously saved as “Man Like Morgan” in his phone. The text came in recognition of the achievement, showcasing the camaraderie within Drake’s inner circle. To share the joy, Drake tagged Wizkid, along with the song’s producers, Noah “40” Shebib and Nineteen85.

What sets this accomplishment apart is its rarity. “One Dance” becomes only the seventh song to achieve this remarkable feat, rubbing shoulders with chart-toppers like The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” and “Starboy,” Post Malone and Swae Lee’s “Sunflower,” Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You,” Lewis Capaldi’s “Someone You Loved,” and Harry Styles’ “As It Was.” This achievement not only cements Drake’s versatility but also highlights his ability to create timeless, catchy tunes that resonate across genres and endure through the years.
