Drake keeps killing it and killing it (and killing it). As if the Toronto rap beast didn’t already have enough accolades, now he’s crushed yet another streaming record.

According to an Instagram photo posted by Apple Music earlier this week, the 6 God is the first artist ever to reach 10 billion streams on Apple.

“A new era,” the caption read. “10 billion streams on Apple Music. Congratulations, @champagnepapi. #drake.”

Drake is having an incredible few weeks. Since releasing Scorpion last month, the singles “Nice For What” and “In My Feelings” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and the album itselfdebuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, where it’s remained for past two weeks.

The 25-track project also broke the single-day streaming record on Spotify and Apple Music, as well as the one-week streaming record.
