AceShowbiz - Rapper J. Cole has smashed a pair of U.S. streaming records previously held by Drake after the release of his new album, "KOD".

The "Lights Please" hitmaker dropped his fifth studio project on Friday, April 20 and it proved to be a hot pick on Apple Music, setting a new milestone for most first-day album streams in America with 64.5 million plays, almost a million more streams than Drake's "Views" garnered in April 2016.

Cole has also been crowned the king of Spotify too, after overtaking the Canadian MC's "More Life" mixtape with 36.6 million plays within its first 24 hours.
