Drake is teasing a new album titled ICEMAN while continuing a staggering streaming run — he became the first rapper to surpass 4 billion Spotify streams in 77 days and has hit 3 billion streams in a single year so far. (ibtimes.com.au)
The ICEMAN rollout traces back to July 2025 when Drake first dropped a “9PM” teaser that led into a cinematic YouTube livestream centered on a real Toronto ice-sculpting business. (musically.com) Billboard documented Drake’s March 3 Instagram post captioned “What I Was Doing When You Thought I Was Crying” as one of several cryptic posts tied to the ICEMAN campaign. (billboard.com) Industry trackers report Drake recently became the first artist to pass 130 billion total Spotify streams across all credits, an all-time platform milestone. (hypebeast.com) That 130-billion mark followed earlier reports that he had cleared 120 billion streams months earlier, and outlets note he now has five individual albums that have each exceeded seven billion Spotify streams. (hiphopdx.com) A class-action lawsuit naming alleged fake plays cites unusually high streaming figures using Drake as an example, and data services have flagged elevated attention to his numbers in recent industry timelines. (hindustantimes.com) Press outlets covering ICEMAN say Drake’s March 2026 social posts continue to drip hints and that local reporting and fan speculation have tied the rollout to a rumored 2026 world tour and possible featured collaborators.
