One prediction market prices this story:

• Above 27.0B — the market puts it at 94%, closing 2 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Drake accumulates more than 27.0 billion worldwide streams between January 1 and December 31, 2026. It resolves to No if his total falls at or below that threshold during this period. Readers often mistake the dismissal of a lawsuit for an impact on stream counts, but only actual streaming data determines the outcome.
