Drake holds numerous records on the Billboard Hot 100, including most top five, top 10, top 20 and top 40 hits.

In addition to that, he extends his record this week for the most songs to reach the Hot 100 in the 66-year history of the chart. “No Face” and “Circadian Rhythm” debut at Nos. 60 and 69, respectively, becoming his 337th and 338th career entries.


Here’s an updated look at the artists with the most Hot 100 entries (through the chart dated Sept. 14):

  • 338, Drake
  • 264, Taylor Swift
  • 207, Glee cast
  • 200, Future
  • 186, Lil Wayne
  • 161, Kanye West
  • 148, Nicki Minaj
  • 141, Lil Baby
  • 118, Chris Brown
  • 118, Travis Scott
  • 112, Eminem

“Circadian Rhythm” appears on Drake’s new project 100 Gigs, which he released last month. The two other songs on the release, “It’s Up” with 21 Savage and Young Thug, and “Housekeeping Knows,” featuring Latto, debuted and peaked at Nos. 28 and 85 three weeks ago. Another track from the set, “Blue Green Red,” reached No. 63 three weeks ago, but has since been removed from streaming services.

How has Drake been able to chart an incredible 338 total songs on the Hot 100 in his career? That’s, of course, largely due to streaming. Billboard began incorporating streaming figures toward the Hot 100 in 2007. Spotify was then added to the equation in 2012, and YouTube was added in 2013. Before streaming, acts generally promoted one single at a time on radio, while also working the physical-only marketplace. Since Drake is so massive — and since his career rise largely coincided with these changes — he’s been able to drop 20-song albums and chart all of its songs at the same time.

Other artists such as Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen and Bad Bunny have also benefited. Wallen, in fact, holds the all-time record for the most songs to chart on the Hot 100 in a single week, with 36 on March 18, 2023 (after releasing One Thing at a Time). Drake held the record before him, with 27 on July 14, 2018.
