In a groundbreaking achievement, Drake has made history by matching the legendary Michael Jackson’s record of 13 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits.
The Toronto-born rapper, who recently dropped his new album, “For All The Dogs,” secured the record-tying No. 1 spot on Monday, October 16, with his latest chart-topper, “First Person Shooter,” featuring J. Cole.
This impressive feat places Drake in the same league as the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, for the most No. 1 hits in the chart’s history among solo male artists. Drake’s ascent to the top has been marked by both critical and commercial success, making him a prominent figure in the music industry.
The record books reveal that Drake now stands shoulder to shoulder with music legends. However, in his quest for the ultimate title of the artist with the most Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits in history, he still has a few more to claim the top spot. Currently, Rihanna holds the second position with 14 No. 1 hits, and with the promise of her upcoming ninth album, that number is expected to grow.
The artists leading the pack with the most Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 songs are Mariah Carey with 19 and The Beatles with 20, making Drake’s journey to the top even more challenging.
Some of Drake’s iconic No. 1 hits include “What’s My Name” with Rihanna, “Work” also with Rihanna, “One Dance” featuring Wizkid and Kyla, “God’s Plan,” “Nice For What,” “In My Feelings,” “Toosie Slide,” “What’s Next,” “Way 2 Sexy” in collaboration with Future and Young Thug, “Wait for U” alongside Future and Tems, “Jimmy Cooks” with 21 Savage, and “Slime You Out,” a collaboration with SZA, all from his latest album, “For All The Dogs.”
While Drake’s impressive chart record is undeniable, it’s noteworthy that most of his No. 1 hits have spent just a single week at the top. Notable exceptions include “Work,” “One Dance,” “God’s Plan,” “Nice For What,” and “In My Feelings,” which enjoyed extended runs at No. 1.
With this latest milestone, Drake continues to cement his legacy in the music industry, and fans eagerly anticipate what more he has in store for the future. Congratulations to the rap superstar for this remarkable achievement, and stay tuned for more chart-topping hits from the “King of Billboard.”
