With the latest achievement, Drake has now tied Rihanna and Taylor Swift for the most No. 1 songs among all acts with 14 chart-toppers. Only Mariah Carey, with 19, and The Beatles, with 20, remain ahead.

Drake also surpassed Morgan Wallen’s 2025 record for the most entries in a single week on the Billboard Hot 100, logging 42 songs on the chart. Wallen had earlier set the mark with 37 entries, after previously recording 36 songs in a single week.

Wallen and Swift jointly hold the third-highest tally with 32 entries each in 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Drake’s previous personal best for most entries in a single week was 27 tracks in 2018.

Across the current top 10, Drake occupies nine spots, with Ella Langley’s Choosin’ Texas at No. 5. The feat extends Drake’s career total to 90 top-10 hits on the Hot 100. He has also become the first artist to register more than 400 career entries on the chart.

The rapper’s latest success follows the release of his three albums — Iceman, Maid of Honour, and Habibti on May 15.
