Wednesday, May 27, 2026 - Canadian rapper Drake has broken Michael Jackson’s record for the most No. 1 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 by a solo male artist, as Janice STFU debuted atop the chart following the release of his trio of albums.
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.
