The stats for the first 6 months of 2017 are in, and Drake is one of the most-streamed music artists of the year so far.

After being named the most-streamed artist of 2016 and having the most-streamed song of last summer with “One Dance“, Drizzy is already the most-streamed artist of 2017 so far with 3.7 billion plays and also has the most-streamed album with More Life at 1.8 billion plays.

By total consumption, the 6 God is also No. 1 with 2,989,039 units, which is from 457,041 album sales, 2,366,751 song sales, and 3,442,984,476 audio streams. Congratulations to Drizzy Drake on these accolades for the first half of the year. I wonder what numbers he will have at the end of 2017!

After recently getting a tattoo of Sade on his torso, Drake and the singer-songwriter’s music has been blended for the latest episode of OVO Sound Radio.

The mashup was done by a DJ/producer from Brooklyn named Vacations. He dropped a project with a few songs on it called “More Love“, which also merges Drizzy‘s “More Life” and Sade‘s “Love Deluxe” project titles.

Vacations brings dreams to reality with this new Drake x Sade collaborative blend tape. The 5-track playlist produces tracks titled “Get It Together, Give It Up”, “Lover’s Smoke” (“Free Smoke” + “Lover’s Rock”), “Gyalskin” (“Gyalchester + “Skin”), “Can’t Cherish Everything” (“Can’t Have Everything + “Cherish The Day”), and “Never Thought I’d See The Passionfruit” (“Passionfruit” + “I Never Though I’d See The Day”).

A month ago on April 19th, Travis $cott brought out Drake during his show at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Portland, Oregon for a stop on his “Birds Eye View” tour.

During the concert, Scott brought out Drizzy to perform their “Portland” collaboration off More Life live (which was only right considering the city they were in).

The 6 God also joined the crowd to mosh pit with fans as Travis performed “Antidote” and “Goosebumps” live. You can check out some footage of all this after the jump below!
