Drake Reacts to Breaking This Michael Jackson Chart Record: ‘Carry On Carry On’

Drizzy occupies the top three slots on the Billboard 200 and nine of the top 10 on this week's Billboard Hot 100.

Drake knows a thing or two about trophies and breaking records. The 6 God celebrated surpassing Michael Jackson for the most No. 1s among male solo acts on Tuesday (May 26) after “Janice STFU” debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100.

“Neck broke from carrying the chain Back broke from carrying the game Records broken carry on my name Carry on carry on,” Drizzy captioned the IG post — which could double as lyrics — featuring an illustrated photo of Michael Jackson with Iceman blue braids in front of a snowy landscape.
