Drake has officially cemented his place in music history by becoming the first artist to spend a staggering 400 cumulative weeks in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100—a record-breaking achievement that underscores his enduring dominance in popular music.
This milestone comes on the heels of the chart success of his summer hit “Nokia,” which has remained in the Top 10 for multiple weeks and was recently named one of Spotify’s Songs of the Summer 2025.
The Canadian superstar has been on an unprecedented run in 2025, setting multiple records across major music platforms. Most notably, Drake has now surpassed 500 million RIAA certification units, making him the first artist ever to reach that milestone. He also added two more Diamond-certified singles to his name—“Hold On, We’re Going Home” and “Best I Ever Had”—each surpassing 10 million units sold in the U.S.
In yet another historic achievement, Drake broke the record for the most cumulative weeks spent on the Billboard 200, overtaking a record long held by The Beatles. His recent collaborative album with PARTYNEXTDOOR, titled ‘$ome $exy 4 U,’ propelled him to his 14th No. 1 song as a solo artist and marked his 14th Billboard 200-topping album. This ties him with Jay-Z and Taylor Swift for second-most No. 1 albums in history—just five shy of The Beatles’ all-time record of 19.
Drake’s Billboard Hot 100 achievements are equally staggering. With 13 No. 1 hits, he has now matched Michael Jackson as the male soloist with the most No. 1 songs in chart history.
On Spotify, his impact is just as monumental. Drake holds the record for the most songs with over 1 billion streams, with an astounding 16 tracks crossing that threshold.
Together, these accomplishments underscore Drake’s unparalleled commercial success and his enduring influence on global music culture—especially in the United States, where his chart records continue to redefine what’s possible for a recording artist.
