Drake Sets Billboard Chart Record

    Nearly half of Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip Hop Song chart is comprised of tracks that either feature Drake or belong to his surprise album, If Youre Reading This Its Too Late

    According to Billboard, the “6 God” rapper is responsible for 42 percent of the 50-position chart. He has 21 concurrent songs on the list.

    The feat sets a new record for the most concurrently charting hits. Drake surpasses his own previous record of 14 tracks on the Billboard chart, which he initially set in 2013 with the release of Nothing Was The Same and which he also matched last week, following the debut of IYRTITL.

    All 17 songs from his new album, IYRTITL, have entered the chart, mainly due to his online success of downloads and streaming. Nielson Music has reported that for the week ending February 22, each track has been streamed at least 1.8 million times in the U.S.

    While “Energy” is the highest ranking song off the album at #9 on the chart, Drake has two Top 5 collaborations with Nicki Minaj, with “Only” and “Truffle Butter” coming in at #4 and #5, respectively.

    For the second week-in-a-row, If Youre Reading This Its Too Late is also the #1 album on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

    1. Wow Drake is on other level with this track record you can rest assured views from the 6 will make a milli first week sells

      1. almost 50m streams and half a mil physical sales means less people will buy the next album because y’all do not buy music

    2. hes only setting these records because they changed the charts up to count streams and shit, he wouldnt have been shit in the 90s

      1. yeah, and shaq wouldn’t be shit if he was 6’5.

        and beyonce wouldn’t be shit if she was ugly.

        and kim k wouldn’t be shit if she didn’t have a big ass.

        IF!

    3. jay, kanye, eminem, 50, etc all would have done this in their prime too if they was counting spotify streams and all that jazz

      1. you know its much harder to sell albums now. so many shitty rappers have gone double plat in the 90s. even the biggest rap artits cant reach plat now cuz of piracy. a dude like cole would have gone triple plat in the 90s

    4. damn, you haters never want to congratulate drake on breaking records left and right. you always have something to cry about, you bitches crying about billboard changing the rules to include streaming. grab a deck of cards and deal with it. #6God #IYRTITL

      1. These aren’t impressive records, Drake dickrider. Also, this isn’t Twitter, so cut the gay ass feminine hashtags.

      2. not impressive?! you’re so full of shit. name someone else who had every song off their album chart on the billboard charts. you can’t. drake is breaking every record in the book and your hating ass can’t stand it. #6God #IYRTITL #FuckYouICanUseHashtagsIfIWant

      3. Eminem and other rappers have broken records that Drake dreams of breaking. Besides, not all of Aubrey’s songs are on the Hot 100 and he’s not breaking every record on the book. Get your facts right next time.

    5. And I’m not trying to shade this man because he’s doing it with what he has, but a meaningless baby or dog video can go viral and amass a couple of million views in a week.

      1. Drake is the most popular rapper out right now, I don’t really F with him like that but the fact remains. Cash Money/ Young Money has been the most consistent and biggest in sales over the last 7 years. I’m not a fan of the label but it is what it is

    6. Drake and OVO Sound will go down as the most influential artists in the history of hip-hop and soul. Outside of DJ Kool Herc and the Native Tongues nobody has had such a profound positive impact on the culture.

      21 songs in the top 50 hip-hop and R&B, not to mention 13 on the Billboard hot 100. Don’t forget the songs that his in house producers produce for other artists, as well as his XO affiliate The Weeknd. Right now OVO is looking more and more like modern day Motown Records. #OVOovereverything

      1. Bitch, you are wrong about everything. Kill yourslf for all of those lies and disrespecting Kool Herc, Native Tongues, and Motown. OVO wishes they could have their impact and influences. Sales and popularity doesn’t always equate to quality.

      2. Who sponsored the largest battle rap event ever? OVO.
        Who had Stevie Wonder feature on his sophmore album? Drake.
        Who shouted out and dedicated a track to ATCQ on his first album? Drake.

        Drake respects the culture and gets respect back from legends. He and 40 are doing more to preserve real hip-hop and soul music than anybody right now.

      3. OVO didn’t sponsor the biggest rap battle event ever, many rappers worked with Stevie Wonder, many rappers have shouted out and dedicated a a song to ACTQ. Drake doesn’t respect the legends and he and 40 aren’t doing shit to perserve hip-hop and soul (their shit doesn’t have any soul).

    7. I think this just shows how shitty music is today. There is a lot of shit on that album that can be flushed down a toilet, but then again people are stupid!

    8. This feat just proves that drake is the best rapper of this generations.Number do not lie, okay, they lie sometimes, but so does lyricism, otherwise Aesop Rock and Canibus would be top 5 D.O.A.

      Drake >>> Jay Z,Kenny, Em’ ,Kanye….

      1. No, Aubrey is not the best rapper of this generation. And Aubrey is not better than any of those rappers. Numbers do lie and lyricism does not.
