Drake is officially rewriting the music history books! His massive new triple-album release, his track "Janice STFU" just debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
This win officially breaks Michael Jackson’s legendary record for the most No. 1 hits by a solo male artist.
With 14 career No. 1s across all acts, Drake is now tied with Rihanna and Taylor Swift, leaving him behind only Mariah Carey who has 19 and the Beatles that have 20.
But the chart dominance doesn’t stop there. Drake also stole Morgan Wallen’s record of most entries in a single week on the chart by landing a jaw-dropping 42 songs at once. Drake took over nine of the Top 10 spots, leaving just the No. 5 slot for Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas.”

With these latest milestones, Drake pushes his career Top 10 total to 90 tracks and becomes the first artist in history to secure over 400 total entries on the Hot 100.
The rapper is riding high on the massive success of his trio of albums, “Iceman,” “Maid of Honour” and “Habibti”, that he released on May 15. Drake had been teasing the “Iceman” album for nearly two years, debuting songs via various livestreams before DSPs.
Just hours before the release of “Iceman”, Drake revealed during his fourth livestream, that two more surprise albums (“Maid of Honour” and “Habibti”) would also be released.
Over the weekend, “Iceman,” “Habibti” and “Maid of Honour” made chart history as they debuted at Nos. 1, 2 and 3, respectively. “Iceman” earned 463,000 equivalent album units and secured his 15th chart-topper, besting Jay-Z’s previous record for most No. 1s among solo men and R&B/ hip-hop artists.
