He has often played with the traditional album format, instead putting out sprawling song collections marketed as mixtapes.
But one consistency in his prodigious output has been commercial achievement.
His song "God's Plan" topped the US singles chart for 11 weeks -- until being dethroned Monday by another of his songs, "Nice for What."
His latest song was streamed in the United States more than 60 million times and downloaded 88,000 times in the week through Thursday, tracking service Nielsen Music said.
