Drake is once again rewriting the record books after a huge week on the Billboard Hot 100, adding several historic achievements to his already unmatched chart career.


The Toronto superstar officially earned his 14th No. 1 single after 'Janice STFU' debuted at the top of the Hot 100, allowing him to move past Michael Jackson for the most chart-topping songs by a solo male artist. The milestone arrives during an incredible stretch for Drake, who also became the first artist in Billboard history to surpass 400 career Hot 100 entries.


Following the release of his latest projects 'Iceman', 'Habibti', and 'Maid of Honour', the rapper now sits at an astonishing 402 total chart appearances.

Drake’s dominance didn’t stop there. Billboard also reported that he placed 42 songs on the Hot 100 simultaneously this week, setting another all-time record for the most concurrent entries by an artist in a single week. The achievement further highlights the impact of his surprise multi-album release strategy earlier this month, which immediately sparked major streaming numbers and online discussion.


Over the years, Drake has consistently broken chart records and expanded what success in hip-hop looks like commercially. With these latest milestones now added to his legacy, the rapper continues cementing himself as one of the most successful artists in modern music history.
