Drake sets new record for longest time on Billboard 200

Drake has achieved another momentous milestone by surpassing a musical titan in the industry – The Beatles. The Canadian phenomenon now holds the distinction of spending the most cumulative weeks on the prestigious Billboard 200 chart. With over 3,346 weeks to his credit, Drake has outshined the iconic British band that set the bar for musical success in the 1960s.

The Beatles revolutionized the music landscape, leaving an indelible mark on global culture. Their enduring influence elicited admiration from legions of fans worldwide, making them an emblem of excellence in the music realm. However, Drake’s latest triumph signifies a changing tide in the industry, highlighting the immense success contemporary artists can achieve in today’s digital age.

Drake’s albums have notched remarkable milestones on the Billboard 200 chart. Leading the pack is ‘Take Care,’ amassing an impressive 578 weeks, followed closely by ‘Nothing Was the Same’ with 505 weeks, and ‘Views’ standing strong at 411 weeks. Additionally, ‘More Life’ clocks in at 350 weeks, and ‘Scorpion’ completes the lineup with 300 weeks on the chart.

Beyond this historic achievement, Drake’s dominance extends across various Billboard records. He boasts the most entries on the Billboard Hot 100 with an enviable tally of 358, along with the highest number of Top 10 hits (80) and Top 5 hits (42). Drake also holds the record for the longest consecutive Hot 100 streak at an astounding 431 weeks. Furthermore, he is neck and neck with Jay-Z and Taylor Swift for the most Billboard 200 No. 1 albums by a solo artist, having secured 14 chart-toppers.

From his early forays into the music scene blending rap and R&B on ‘So Far Gone’ to his ascent as a global pop culture icon, Drake has displayed a remarkable evolution while maintaining his top-tier status. In the same vein that The Beatles epitomized musical success for their generation, Drake now personifies contemporary commercial prowess.

Surpassing The Beatles is a monumental achievement that solidifies Drake’s legacy not only as a hip-hop luminary but as one of the most successful musical artists in history. His unparalleled success underscores his impact on the industry and secures his position as a trailblazer in the world of music.
