Drake has rewritten many Hot 100 records since his chart arrival in 2009 with "Best I Ever Had."
Every new Drake release seems to bring another piece of Billboard chart history.
Since first appearing on the Billboard Hot 100 dated May 23, 2009, with his breakthrough hit “Best I Ever Had” (which peaked at No. 2), Drake has shattered record after record and reached unprecedented chart heights.
In 2015, he became just the fourth artist in history to earn 100 career Hot 100 entries. He joined the 200-hit club in 2019, then became the first (and still only) artist to reach 300 entries in 2023. In 2026, he extended that record even further, becoming the only artist ever to amass 400 career Hot 100 entries.
Among Drake’s many other Hot 100 achievements are the records for the most top two, top three, top five, top 10, top 20 and top 40 hits, along with the most No. 1 debuts in the chart’s history.
He also holds the record for the most No. 1 Hot 100 hits among solo male artists, with 14. Among all artists, he’s tied with Rihanna and Taylor Swift for the third-most No. 1s overall, after only the Beatles (20) and Mariah Carey (19).
As Drake continues adding to his resume, here’s a look at every major Hot 100 record the superstar has broken throughout his career — and the milestones he hasn’t reached (yet) — through the chart dated May 30, 2026.
It’s also worth noting that the rise of streaming has drastically reshaped how artists accumulate Hot 100 records. In recent years, blockbuster album releases have allowed acts to chart multiple songs simultaneously, a stark contrast to earlier eras when artists typically promoted one radio single at a time in a largely physical-sales-driven marketplace. That shift in consumption helps explain why modern artists have been able to rapidly increase their career totals for Hot 100 entries and other chart milestones.
Drake has tallied 27 songs that have peaked in the top two on the Hot 100. That’s the most among all artists in chart history.
Drake has charted a record 35 songs that have peaked in the top three.
Drake has earned a record 47 top five hits on the Hot 100.
Drake has tallied a record 90 top 10 hits on the Hot 100.
Drake has tallied a record 154 top 20 hits on the Hot 100.
Drake has accumulated a record 241 top 40 hits on the Hot 100.
Drake has charted a record 402 career songs on the Hot 100, the most by any artist in the chart’s history. He has also appeared on three additional charting songs for which he did not receive official credit, meaning they do not count toward his career total: Young Money’s “Every Girl” (No. 10 peak in 2009), Young Money’s “Bedrock” (No. 2, 2010), and Travis Scott’s “Sicko Mode” (No. 1, 2018).
Drake reached his 100th career Hot 100 entry in 2015 following the release of his collaborative album with Future, What a Time to Be Alive, and earned his 200th entry in 2019 after dropping Care Package. He later became the first artist to reach 300 career Hot 100 entries with For All the Dogs in 2023, and the first to hit the 400-song milestone in 2026 following the simultaneous release of ICEMAN, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR.
Drake has earned the most songs that have peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100, with 13.
Drake has a record 10 No. 1 debuts on the Hot 100: “God’s Plan,” “Nice for What,” “Toosie Slide,” “What’s Next,” “Way 2 Sexy” (featuring Future & Young Thug), “Wait For U” (with Future & Tems), “Jimmy Cooks” (featuring 21 Savage), “Slime You Out” (featuring SZA), “First Person Shooter” (featuring J. Cole) and “Janice STFU.”

Drake, The Beatles, Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar are the only artists in history to occupy the entire top five of the Hot 100 in a single week. As a result, they share the record for the most concurrent top five hits in a single week.
The Beatles became the first act to achieve the feat on April 4, 1964, followed by Drake on Sept. 18, 2021; Swift on Nov. 5, 2022, and again on May 4, 2024, and Oct. 18, 2025; and Lamar on Dec. 7, 2024.
Drake set the record for the most concurrent top 20 hits in a single week when he placed 15 songs in the region on the Nov. 19, 2022-dated Hot 100 following the release of Her Loss with 21 Savage. He achieved the feat again on May 30, 2026, when he charted 15 songs in the region from ICEMAN
Taylor Swift later matched the feat on the May 4, 2024-dated chart, when she simultaneously charted 15 top 20 hits from The Tortured Poets Department.
Drake charted a record 42 songs on the Hot 100 simultaneously on May 30, 2026, thanks to tracks from ICEMAN, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR. That’s the most entries on the chart in a single week.
Drake spent 29 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in 2018, thanks to “God’s Plan” (11 weeks), “Nice For What” (eight weeks) and “In My Feelings” (10 weeks). That’s the most weeks spent on top in a single calendar year.
Drake earned 13 top 10 hits on the Hot 100 in 2018, 2021 and 2022. That’s the most ever in a single year.
Drake has spent 412 total weeks in the top 10 of the Hot 100 in his career (combining the totals of all his 90 top 10s), the most of all time.
Drake has peaked at, astonishingly, 95 of the Hot 100’s 100 ranks. The only spots at which songs of his haven’t peaked: Nos. 46, 77, 96, 98 and 99.
