Chalk up another W for Drake as he has now officially tied 50 Cent for a chart accomplishment. This comes the same week that Drizzy draws even with Eminem for having an album sit at the top of Billboard’s Top 200 albums chart for five consecutive weeks.
Now, Billboard says that Drake matches 50 Cent by being the most recent male artist to have a #1 album on the Top 200 chart and a #1 song on the Hot 100 chart for three straight weeks. VIEWS has sat at the top position for five weeks and the single “One Dance,” which features Wizkid and Kyla, became Drake’s first cut to top the list last month.
50 Cent accomplished such a feat in 2005 when “Candy Shop” and The Massacre both sat on top of the respective charts for six weeks in a row. Since then, no male artist has come close to touching those numbers.
Adele reached the accomplishment for six straight weeks with “Hello” and 25 over the months of December and January.
