In Season Three, the guests on average were more famous, more numerous, and often more prominently featured. But the guests tended to appear in dribs and drabs, or only briefly, or (in the case of Doja Cat, who digitally flirted with Dave but never met him IRL) didn’t appear on-screen with them at all. The first two seasons featured notable guest stars like Justin Bieber, Kourtney Kardashian, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, so it wasn’t as if Dave was interacting with nobodies. After faking his own death - or, rather, allowing people to mistakenly believe he was dead for a day without telling anyone otherwise - he became a huge star with a fancy house, a bigger record deal, and invites to major-league events like the Met Gala.Īnd as the fictionalized Dave’s celebrity rating kept rising, so did the caliber of guest star. Season Three of Dave was all about the show’s title character - rapper Dave Burd, aka Lil Dicky, aka the star, co-creator, and one of the executive producers of the FXX comedy (which streams the day after on Hulu) - finally achieving his goal of international fame.
Not to mention that streaming was up for a sixth year straight in 2020.This post contains spoilers for the entire third season of Dave, including tonight’s season finale, “Looking for Love.” It’s looking like that 2021 is going to be a big year for streaming, we’re only 20 days in and records are being smashed left, right and centre. His 2018 release ‘Scorpion’ also shattered Spotify’s one-day global record for album streams, with the album’s individual tracks totalling 132,450,203 streams, more than 50,000,000 greater than the previous record, set weeks earlier by Post Malone‘ ‘Beerbongs & Bentleys’, which was streamed 78,744,748 globally on release. This isn’t the first time Drake has broken Spotify records though, back in 2010 he was the platforms most streamed artist with 28 billion streams, beating Ed Sheeran, Post Malone, Ariana Grande and Eminem.
It’s likely that Drake is going to hold onto this lead too as his forthcoming album ‘Certified Lover Boy’, the follow-up to 2018’s ‘Scorpion’, is expected to drop later this month. Not to mention other releases racking up numbers in the high hundred-millions. His 2018 single ‘God’s Plan’ racked up an impressive 1.675bn streams alone.
It’s an impressive feat but one that was arguably somewhat predictable.
Another landmark moment for the streaming service after Olivia Rodrigo’s debut single ‘Drivers License’ broke streaming records last week.
