Drake is known as one of the greatest artists of this generation. In 2009, his So Far Gone mixtape garnered a lot of attention from fans and labels. There was a bidding war for his services, and he signed with Lil Wayne and his Young Money Records. The following year, Drake would release his Thank Me Later debut album. Thank Me Later was one of the most anticipated hip hop releases of 2010. The album went on to sell over four million copies. The following year, Drake would release his second album called Take Care. The award-winning album sold over ten million copies and has been called Drake’s best album. In 2020, the album was ranked 95th on Rolling Stone’s updated list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. A little less than two years later, Drake returned with his third album.

Nothing Was the Same was the name of the album, and it was another success. Nothing Was the Same was named to multiple “Best Albums of the Year” lists. XXL named it the best album of 2013. The album went on to sell over seven million copies. Drake took some time off and toured a lot before rolling out his next project. Views was the name of the album, and it turns 10 years old today. The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, with 1.04 million album-equivalent units in its first week. Views were nominated for four awards and took home five, including Album of the Year. Views was ranked as the second most popular album of 2016 on the Billboard 200. The album went on to sell over nine million copies in the United States.

Views were accompanied by five singles, and the first one was Hotline Bling. During this time, Drake was beefing with Meek Mill, and his popularity was at an all-time high. Two days before releasing Hotline Bling, Drake dropped his Back to Back record. Back to Back was nominated for Best Rap Performance at the 58th Grammy Awards. Hotline Bling” reached number 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It also reached number 3 in Drake’s native Canada and the United Kingdom. The song won the award for Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Song at the 2016 American Music Awards. The Diamond-selling single was named the seventh best music video of 2015.
