Drake won a total of four awards at the 2016 American Music Awards, which took place last Sunday (November 20th) in Los Angeles.

Out of 13 nominations, Drizzy took home awards in the categories: “Favorite Album – Rap/Hip-Hop” for Views, “Favorite Artist – Rap/Hip-Hop”, “Favorite Song – Rap/Hip-Hop” for “Hotline Bling“, and “Favorite Song – Soul/R&B” for Rihanna’s “Work“.

If you can recall, the 6 God also broke a record at this year’s AMAs by surpassing Michael Jackson’s 11 nomination record back in 1984!

Drake‘s latest album, VIEWS, has now spent 26 weeks in the top half of the Billboard 200 chart after debuting at No. 1 on the chart back in May.

According to Billboard, only 6 other albums have been able to do that since 1963. The project that has had the most weeks in the top five of the chart is Adele with her 21 album. That run was for 39 weeks, so do you think Drizzy can reach and surpass that?

The 6 God‘s 26 weeks in the top 5 of the Billboard 200 chart means he is equal with Eagles’ Hotel California album that dropped back in 1977. The other albums currently above him are Garth Brooks’ Ropin’ The Wind, Whitney Houston’s The Bodyguard, Stevie Wonder’s Songs In The Key Of Life, and Michael Jackson’s Bad!

Earlier this month, the 2016 BET Hip-Hop Awards aired on television and after being nominated 14 times in 11 categories, Drake took home 2 awards.

Drizzy was victorious in the “Album Of The Year” and “Best Hip-Hop Video” categories for his Views project and his “Hotline Bling” visual.

Congratulations to the 6 God on winning his awards at the show!

After finding out it was the most-streamed song on Spotify over the summer last month, the streaming service have now announced Drake‘s “One Dance” single is the most-streamed track in the platform’s history.

Spotify revealed that the Views single has been played over 880 million times. The previous holder was Major Lazer and DJ Snake’s “Lean On” song with 526 million streams.

Congratulations to Drizzy, Kyla and Wizkid on this amazing achievement!

Drake has been nominated a total of 12 times at this year’s Soul Train Awards, which will air on television November 27th at 8:00PM.

The 6 God earned nominations in the categories “Video Of The Year”, “Album/Mixtape Of The Year”, “Rhythm & Bars Award”, “Song Of The Year”, “Best Dance Performance”, and “Best Collaboration”.
