Drake Gets No. 1 Album and Single, Tying Michael Jackson for Billboard Hot 100 Record
Drake, with his J. Cole collaboration “First Person Shooter,” has officially tied Michael Jackson as the male solo artist with the most No. 1 songs in Billboard Hot 100 History. Following the release of his album For All The Dogs, the rapper has officially charted 13 songs at No. 1, a record that hasn’t been surpassed since Jackson achieved it in 1995 with “You Are Not Alone.”
The achievement means that Drake and Jackson now share the title of fourth-most No. 1 songs on the Hot 100. The Beatles hold the overall record with 20, followed by Mariah Carey with 19 and Rihanna with 14.
For All the Dogs debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart, with six more singles cracking the top ten. “First Person Shooter” marks the first No. 1 song for J. Cole, with Yeat, 21 Savage, SZA, Bad Bunny, and more making guest appearances elsewhere on the record.
