We can count on Drake to break new records every time he shares a new album with the world, and he’s done it once again! The rapper’s latest album For All the Dogs made quite a splash on the Billboard charts and produced his 13th No. 1 hit, tying him with Michael Jackson.
Following its release on October 6, For All the Dogs easily debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart with 402,000 album-equivalent units, becoming his 13th album to do so. He’s only one album away from surpassing Jay-Z, but the all-time record is still held by The Beatles with 19 No. 1 albums in the US.
Drake also made quite a splash on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, with all 23 songs from his latest album debuting on the Billboard Hot 100. Seven of them managed to make it to the top ten, including “First Person Shooter” ft. J. Cole, which became his 13th chart-leader.
Drake is now tied with Michael Jackson for the most No. 1 hits among solo male artists, but The Beatles (20), Mariah Carey (19), and Rihanna (14) are still ahead of them. For All the Dogs also helped Drake become the first artist with over 300 Billboard Hot 100 entries with a total of 320.
