Over the weekend, hip-hop superstar Drake could barely hold all his record-setting 13 Billboard music awards. Now the Canadian artist can celebrate a little more after setting another record, becoming the first artist to chart the Billboard Hot 100 for eight consecutive years.
May 23, 2009, marks the day Drake initially cracked the chart-topping list with his single "Best I Ever Had," starting at No. 92. Since then the More Life rapper has continued a 420-week reign where he's either been lead or had a featured role on a hit song. Young Money's Lil Wayne holds the second longest streak with 326 weeks consecutive, while Rihanna is third with 216.
According to Billboard, Drake has tallied 154 songs on the list, the most of any solo artist. In that catalog, he's gained 20 top ten hits including three No.1's, the 2016 smash "One Dance" and two coming from featured roles on Rihanna's "Work," and "Whats My Name?".
The OVO Sound founder currently has three songs on the list, two from his recent project More Life, "Passionfruit" at No. 21, "Portland" featuring Quavo and Travis Scott at No. 58 and a featured role on Gucci Mane's "Both" at No. 44.
