Drake has broken the record for most Top 10 songs in the history of the Billboard Hot 100. His DJ Khaled collaborations “Popstar” and “Greece” debuted at No. 3 and No. 8 respectively on the chart dated August 1, giving Drizzy the 39th and 40th Top 10 tracks of his career. When Drake rapped that he has “more slaps than the Beatles,” that line has come to fruition on the charts.
The OVO star was previously tied with Madonna at 38 Top 10 songs. He now claims sole ownership of the record with artists such as The Beatles, Rihanna, Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey and Stevie Wonder behind him.
Drake reached Madonna’s record of 38 Top 10 songs when his Playboi Carti-assisted cut “Pain” entered at No. 7 on the Hot 100 chart dated May 16. She surpassed The Beatles’ highwater-mark of 34 tracks in November 2002.
The Beatles held the record for most Top 10 songs for three decades before being dethroned by Madonna. Over the past few years, Drake has surpassed the iconic band in the record books for most Top 10 hits in a single year and most simultaneous Top 10 debuts on the Hot 100. Drizzy famously referenced outdoing the British rockers on Meek Mill’s “Going Bad” by declaring he’s “got more slaps than The Beatles.”

Its not surprising, when you dumb down your lyrics and cater to nothing but females its expected. Those are the ones buying his material and dudes who feel playing drake will get them some ass.
Let’s keep in mind that The Beatles were only together as a recording act for 7 years. More importantly though, let’s keep in mind that in addition to all The Beatles hit singles, very many of their most well known songs were not hit singles…because they didn’t release them as singles. Here Comes the Sun, In My Life, Blackbird and many many others would likely have been top 10 if they were released as singles. With a Little Help From My Friends was an album track that was covered by Joe Cocker and went to #1 in the UK in 68, likewise Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was covered by Elton John and went to #1 in 74. In 1977, eleven years after the song was released as an album track and 7 years after they broke up, the Beatles record company released Got to Get You into My Life as a single and it made the top 10. And incredibly that same year, Earth Wind and Fire covered the song and their version also made the top 10. I don’t think many of the current generation have a full grasp on the enormity of The Beatles phenomenon, it really isn’t just a hype.
does drake masturbate? serious question.
Lol Drake….. If you’re selling this much these days you got to be bad.
Many songs have been by other artists WITH Drake.
Beatles songs were fully a product of the band, NOT as guests on another bands album.
One song did have Billy Preston listed as “with”.
And Drake releases entire albums as singles which can be bought at home. To get Beatles songs you had to drive down to the local record store to buy them. It was tougher to get music back in the day!
The Beatles released a single and an album but the album was not available as a dozen or so songs to pay individually to get. Had they released them digitally they would have a dozen or so hits every release, and Drake would be far far behind.
It’s amazing how he always flaunts all of these records, but… He is nowhere near the richest, he is nowhere near the most selling (Em), yet he has sold more records than the Beatles, right? LOL. This shit is hilarious. Dude has half the money of Rhianna, yet supposedly has sold double what she has? LOL
Now it’s about money, lol. I bet it’s not about money when you’re dikk riding nappy hair bum Pusha T.
well it doesn’t mean that he is better than beatles
