Canadian rap superstar Drake has once again etched his name into music history, breaking a long-standing record previously held by the legendary Michael Jackson.
The chart-topping artist now holds the record for the most No. 1 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 by a solo male artist, following the debut of his latest track, “Janice STFU,” at the top of the chart.
With this achievement, Drake also joins global music icons Rihanna and Taylor Swift, tying them for the most No. 1 hits among all acts, with 14 chart-toppers each. Only Mariah Carey, with 19, and The Beatles, with 20, remain ahead.
Beyond that milestone, Drake has also set a new record for the most entries on the Billboard Hot 100 in a single week. The rapper secured an astonishing 42 songs on the chart, surpassing Morgan Wallen’s previous record of 37.
In an even more dominant display, Drake currently occupies nine out of the top 10 spots on the chart, with only “Choosin’ Texas” by Ella Langley breaking his streak at number five.
This latest feat brings Drake’s total to an impressive 90 top-10 hits, while also making him the first artist in history to surpass 400 career entries on the Billboard Hot 100.
The record-breaking run follows the release of his three new albums Iceman, Maid of Honour, and Habibti which dropped on May 15 and have since taken the global music scene by storm.
Drake’s continued dominance on the charts not only highlights his consistency but also reinforces his position as one of the most influential and successful artists of his generation.
