Billboard awarded Drake with the honor of Artist of the Decade, Sunday.
The award winner is determined by analyzing activity on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart and the Billboard 200 albums, as well as other signifiers such as social media data and touring revenue. Rounding out the top 5 artists in that regard are Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Rihanna, and Adele.
“I didn’t write a grandiose speech about how to make it work or what it took, ’cause to be honest, I don’t really understand it myself,” Drake went on to admit. “I just know that I’ve spent an incalculable amount of hours trying to analyze all the things I did wrong, but tonight, for once, I’m sure as hell we did something right.”
