Drake Album 'Certified Lover Boy' Breaks Apple Music's One-Day Streaming Record

Apple Music's "Certified Lover Boy", Drake's newest album, is Apple Music's most streamed album in 24 hour in its history, Apple told Billboard over the weekend.


The artist's sixth studio album, the album was released on Friday, September 3rd at midnight EST. It features several prominent rappers like Jay-Z and Future as well as Rick Ross and Lil Baby.

"Certified Lover Boy", a 21-track album, features Apple's pregnant lady emojis on the album cover. The album's cover notes describe it as "a mixture of toxic masculinity, acceptance of truth that is inevitably heartbreaking", and are executive produced by Drake and Oliver El-Khatib.

According to reports, the album already broke the record for most streamed album in 2021 within 12 hours.

This new record is just three days after Kanye West's song "Donda", which broke Apple Music's 2021 day-one streaming record with 60 million plays in America, set the record.
