Drake Scores Seventh Consecutive No. 1 Album & Breaks Record For Most Hot 100 Hits For Solo Artists [PEEP]

drake-more-life-black

UPDATE: Drizzy continues to break records with his ‘More Life’ album. Every song on the album is currently charting on the Billboard Hot 100 and he has now broken the Billboard record for most Hot 100 hits among solo artists with 154.

With the new record he passes his YMCMB boss, Lil’ Wayne, who has 135. Many people have criticized Drake for having over 20-songs on the album, but the move has proved to be a smart one with all 22-songs charting. In doing so he’s beat his own record for ‘Views’ and The Weeknd’s ‘Starboy’ with the most simultaneously charted Hot 100 songs from one single project.

With “Passionfruit” at No. 8 and “Portland” at No. 9, Drizzy follows Ed Sheeran to simultaneously have two songs on the Top 10.

Below is a list of artists with the most Hot 100 singles.

207, Glee Cast
154, Drake
135, Lil Wayne
108, Elvis Presley
91, James Brown
87, Jay Z
82, Chris Brown
81, Kanye West
77, Nicki Minaj
75, Ray Charles


When Drake said “More Life, more everything,” he really meant it. More success, “more chune for your headtop,” and of course more No. 1s.

With the early projections it should come as no surprise that Drizzy has earned his seventh consecutive No. 1 album with ‘More Life’ topping the Billboard 200 chart. In doing so he tied with Eminem and Kanye West for second most No. 1s amongst hip-hop artists. Jay-Z still maintains the throne with 13, so Drake still has work to do, if he ever wants to dethrone his counterpart.

‘More Life’ scored dominating numbers of over 500,000 equivalent album units, making it the biggest opening and dethroning his ‘Views’ album. Competing against himself, Drake broke records for streaming equivalent units with 257,000 through 384.8 million streams of individual tracks. The “playlist” broke Ed Sheeran’s traditional album sales units with over 200,000 broke both Spotify and Apple Music streaming records.

Through all the success physical copies of more life haven’t even been released yet. They will hit store shelfs on March 31st.

Check out the Billboard 200 Top 10 albums below.

For fans of the culture this tribute will be EPIC. Both Dre and Snoop rocking the stage, as Pac’s name gets engraved to one of the most celebrated Hall of Fames in the industry. Perhaps they can do a redo of Coachella and get a Tupac hologram as well? Boy, that’d be something.

The explicit, dirty d.a. doman-produced single finds Breezy seducing his female audience. With talk of “licking private parts,” sexual encounters, and more, the baby-making single is sure to set the scene in the bedroom.

CB is currently working on his eighth studio album ‘Heartbreak on a Full Moon’. It is unclear if this single will land on that project or if it is a one-off. What is known is that “Grass Ain’t Greener” and “Party” featuring Gucci Mane and Usher will land on the album.

Catch Chris on “The Party Tour” with 50 Cent, Fabolous, O.T. Genasis, and Kap-G. In the meantime listen to “Privacy”.

786c62756da3bfc2806f5d77aca3c645.680x680x1

After a lengthy delay, Mike WiLL Made-It drops his highly-anticipated ‘Ransom 2’ album, just a day after his 28th birthday.

‘Ransom 2’ follows the original ‘Ransom’, which dropped nearly three years ago. The 17-track album includes contributions from some of the hottest artists in the game like Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Future, Pharrell, 2 Chainz, Big Sean, Young Thug, Gucci Mane, YG, Migos, and many others.

The all-star producer admitted that Rae Sremmurd’s ‘SremmLife 2’ and Gucci Mane coming home, contributed to the nearly three year delay of the album.

“I was supposed to drop Ransom 2 last January, but I was locked in on [Rae Sremmurd’s] SremmLife 2,” he said on Beats 1. “I just disregarded Ransom 2 [and] put it to the side…Then Gucci came home. He was gone for three years…He came home and I wanted to make sure his project was super solid, so Ransom 2 was all the way moving down on the priority list.”

Mike does an immaculate job of meshing his production with the different artists on his project. Stream ‘Ransom 2’ in its entirety below via Apple Music.
