Drake scored his ninth No. 1 Billboard 200 album this week with Care Package, a compilation of previously unreleased songs. According to Billboard, the 6 God has once again made chart history by becoming the first soloist — and only the second act overall — with at least 200 visits to the Billboard Hot 100.
With the addition of six songs from the recently released Care Package, his total comes to 203 entries in just over a decade, which kicked off in 2009 with “Best I Ever Had.” The Glee Cast is the only act to accumulate more with 207.
The six out of the 17 songs from Care Package that pushed Drake to the new milestone are “Trust Issues” (No. 58), “How About Now” (No. 60), “The Motion” (No. 61), “Dreams Money Can Buy” (No. 68), “Club Paradise” (No. 85) and “Days in the East” (No. 95).
Last year, Drake set a new record for most Top 10 Hot 100 placements in a single year, surpassing a record previously held by The Beatles.
As a result, the 32-year-old got a tattoo of The Beatles’ famous Abbey Road cover with him walking in front of the Fab Four and waving to them, which has sparked some controversy among Beatles fans.
Another win for drake. Another L for the haters. Does it hurt haters that your favourite rappers are nothing compared to drake in the present rap game. Drake runs this rap sht and has a choke hold on the rap game.
You’re gay dude, and that’s OK. You can be into dudes and Bieber, Milli Vanilli etc. you do need psychological help for caking Drake a rapper though.
Dude is a unstoppable hitmaker love it or hate it. This is a quickly patched together compilation of songs that have been available for years and it reaches #1 with 6 top 200 songs? Damn lol
It’s just more commercial bullshit from a dude that doesn’t write his lyrics. He can’t sing thus the use of auto tunes. Drake is a suburban kid trying to be street. Drake will never run hip hop because his music isn’t hip hop. It is just rap nonsense.
Can you at least agree that it is very imoressive for this to reach #1 witch basically a silent release with zero marketing? Come on dude I love hiphop but you gotta give props where it’s due.
Bruh, this is not hip hop! This is just commercial trash like lil nas x. This feat is only impressive if a hip hop act like wu tang did this. Most hip hop is not played on the radio anymore. In my opinion, all of drake’s music is horrible. Why? He can’t sing without auto tunes. The ghost writers give him street cred. which is not deserved. Drake is just culture vulture from the suburbs.
GOAT.
Fake streams and album sales? Fake accents? Cultural appropriation? Click farms for streams? I sure hope not…
The amount of people that consume music now compared to 15-50 years ago is overwhelming … that’s not even counting the ease you can get music now … you had to actually go into a store to make the purchase …. that’s a lot different than clicking a button …. and streaming allows you to always listen to what you want … that sure wasn’t the case … all things equal … Drake would only be in the middle of the pack … and what’s he going to do when hip-pop happy sing song time is over and real hip-hop stands up again … wouldn’t be the first time the pop acts dropped off
There’s a reason he “outsold the Beatles” yet has less money than several rappers.
What other rappers are you reffering to? And aswell, he didn’t outsell the beatles
Jay-Z, Kanye, Diddy, his girl Rihanna, oh, and every single one of the Beatles as individuals. Maybe you don’t pay attention, but there are several places where he claims to have sold more “equivalent of physical copies” than the Beatles by himself.
You’re an idiot
Never!!!!!!!! That is a long time bruh. Anybody can have a number 1 hit nowadays. Lil nas x is a perfect example. Record companies used to seek out talented artists to showcase but not anymore. Everybody in the world has lil in their names. Why? These rappers are disposable. In other words, they aren’t built to last. HIP HOP IS BUILT TO LAST. rap IS A FAD LIKE MUMBLE AND TRAP MUSIC.
The way everything is measured is completely different now, so this is a meaningless accomplishment.
As a ceo has drake made any body a star on ovo
