Drake. To put Drake’s longevity into perspective, he made his debut in 2006, then really popped off around 2009. From 2009 down to 2026, there hasn’t been a single year without a smash hit, or multiple smash hits. That’s roughly 20 years of being active without taking a real break or going MIA. He’s literally run almost every summer from his debut till present. And when you factor in the streaming era, it becomes an entirely different ball game. The numbers, consistency and sheer volume are ridiculous. He runs circles around his peers. He’s one of the very few artists who have dominated across both the CD era and the streaming era. That level of longevity is insane.
