Drake’s surprise release If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late is doing well—like, really well. The mixtape that sold 535,000 copies and went No. 1 in the first week has broke numerous records. Currently, Drake has 14 songs charting on the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time, an achievement last done by The Beatles on April 11, 1964.
His latest accolade only further proves that he is undoubtedly a rap legend. In addition, Drake set a new record with 21 titles on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, including all of If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late. This follows the fact that he’s the first rapper to sit at No.1 on the Billboard Hot Artist chart and has more Hot 100 singles than The Beatles.
This week, Drake’s highest charting song is Nicki Minaj’s "Only" at No. 16. At No. 17, it’s “Truffle Butter,” which is another selection off The Pinkprint. Here are the tracks he has on the charts in comparison to The Beatles’ 14 songs.
