Drake Beats Out Madonna With Stellar Record; Details Here

Drake has scored another record, adding to his collection of musical trophies. According to reports, the Canadian rap superstar has officially surpassed Madonna, becoming the artist with the most Top 10 entries on the Billboard Hot 100. Following the entries of his latest DJ Khaled collaborations,”Popstar” and “Greece”, at No. 3 and No. 8 respectively, Drake scores his 39th and 40th Hot 10 entry. 

The record, previously held by Madonna, sets a new precedent on the Billboard Hot 100, since the chart’s inception in 1958. Madonna previously set the record when her 007 OST, ‘Die Another Day’ became her 38th Top 10 entry on the Hot 100 chart. 

Prior to Madonna, The Beatles were the artists with the most Top 10 entries on the chart. Interestingly, Drake has rapped about levelling up with The Beatles and being their musical equivalent. Other Top 10 entries include, ‘Hotline Bling’, ‘Toosie Slide’ and other hits. 

The rapper’s latest releases, ‘Popstar’ and ‘Greece’ have performed unsurprisingly well on the music charts. The tracks marked 2 Top 10 debuts on the Billboard Hot 100, marking a first for DJ Khaled. This record is just another notch in Drake’s belt of achievements, and something tells us, he isn’t stopping anytime soon.
