Drake adds five new Hot 100 top 10s, as his new album Scorpion sits confidently in first place on the Billboard Albums chart, upping his career total to 31 and passing Michael Jackson for the most among solo males.


Drake's now boasts seven songs in the top 10 simultaneously, besting the Beatles' record of five that had stood since 1964.

Billboard has neatly compiled all the chart-busting moves the Toronto R&B singer is scoring with his new release and enumerates the songs that are setting fire to streaming platforms.
