Drake continues to rake in the accolades and prove his status as a titan within the industry. The Six God has just set a new record for most Billboard Hot 100 entries, cementing his position with โOprahโs Bank Accountโ. A joint released alongside relative new comers Lil Yachty and DaBaby โ and one that marks his 208th Billboard 100 appearance.
Debuting at No. 89 last week, it caps off a decade long run to the top for Drake, which began with his platinum mixtape hit โBest I Ever Hadโ at No. 92. Interestingly enough, โBest I Ever Hadโ was also released at a similarly tumultuous economic period, though Iโm sure thatโs mostly a coincidence.
Since then, the Canadian artist has seen a steady stream of winners, with almost 20 Billboard Hot 100 appearances per year, and 432 consecutive weeks on the charts which ended in August 2017.
Earlier this year, he managed to tie musical TV show Gleeโs record, then leading at 207 songs on the charts. So it was only inevitable that Drake managed to bump them out before yearโs end. A fitting finish for someone who got his start on another teen show, Degrassi, and only months ago boasted about having more hits than The Beatles in a song with former rival, Meek Mill.
With quarantine going down, celebrate the big manโs achievement and reminisce of the time that was by streaming So Far Gone. Also โ โNothing Was The Sameโ is Drakeโs best album, donโt @ me.
