Shania, Celine, Pink Floyd, Ed Sheeran, the Beatles, Elvis, Aerosmith, Eminem, Adele, Babs all take a back seat to Drizzy, according to a new sales survey, published by 24/7 Wall Street.


As published Tuesday in the financial news and commentary portal, and after having assessed data culled from RIAA stats, the report shows Drake has surpassed the Beatles to become the top certified artist of all time, thanks largely to his many successful singles. The 11x platinum God’s Plan is his best-selling single to date, followed by Hotline Bling and One Dance, both of which have been certified 8x platinum. He has won four Grammy Awards and performed at the ceremony.
