Drake by the Numbers: The Catalog, Measured
By Dan Cohen · Published 2026-06-24
We measured all 61 Drake songs in our library — tempo, dynamic range, texture, how abruptly each song shifts, how hard the vocal pushes — and rolled it into a single intensity score from 0 to 100. No other site scores a catalog this way. Here is Drake by the numbers: muscular in the middle — neither sleepy nor relentless, with room at both ends.
