A round of applause for Aubrey.
Thanks to his mixtape If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 (dated Feb. 28), according to Nielsen Music, Drake has tied a record that stood unmatched for 51 years: He charts 14 songs simultaneously on the Billboard Hot 100 (dated March 7). The sum equals the 14 titles that the Beatles placed on the Hot 100 dated April 11, 1964.
The history-tying achievement is the latest chart honor for Drake via the new set. In addition to the release’s No. 1 spot, he became the first rapper to top the Billboard Artist 100 chart (which he rules for a second week). Drake also boasts a new-record 21 titles on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, including all 17 tracks from the mixtape.
