His music has been released on record labels Universal Motown Records and Republic Records, along with subsidiaries Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records and OVO Sound. With 170 million records sold worldwide,[1] he is among the best-selling music artists in history. Drake has achieved thirteen number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] Billboard hailed him as the "Artist of the 2010s Decade"[3] and the 16th Greatest Artist of all time.[2] RIAA ranks him as the best top-selling digital artist of all time with 244 million in the United States.[4] He has the most number one singles on both the US Hot Rap Songs chart (with thirty) and the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart (also with thirty).[5]

Following him signing to Young Money Entertainment imprint, Drake's mixtape, So Far Gone was repackaged as a 2009 release of his seven-song extended play, containing three singles: "Best I Ever Had", "Successful", and "I'm Goin' In". These singles peaked at numbers 2, 17, and 40 on the US Billboard Hot 100, respectively.[6] In June 2010, Drake released his debut studio album, Thank Me Later, which featured the single, "Find Your Love", peaking at number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In November 2011, Drake released his second studio album, Take Care, which produced singles such as "Marvins Room", "Headlines", "Make Me Proud", "The Motto", "Take Care", "HYFR (Hell Ya Fucking Right)", "Crew Love", and "Lord Knows", four of which reached the top 15 of the Billboard Hot 100 and were certified platinum by the RIAA (RIAA).[7][6] "Take Care" became the most commercially successful single from the album in many overseas territories such as Australia, where it was certified double platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), Ireland and the United Kingdom.[8][9][10][11] In September 2013, Drake released his third studio album, Nothing Was the Same, which produced two of his top 10 singles "Started from the Bottom" and "Hold On, We're Going Home".

Drake's fourth studio album Views was released in April 2016, and included the singles "Hotline Bling", "One Dance", "Pop Style", "Controlla", and "Too Good", all of which peaked within the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. "One Dance" became the most successful single of Drake's career, becoming an international hit and peaking at number one in fifteen countries, including Canada, the US, and the UK, where it became his first number-one single. "One Dance" has since also become the third most played song on streaming media service Spotify, with over two billion individual streams.[12]
