Another One: Drake Makes Chart History Again
The 6 God has done it again. With “In My Feelings” spending a ninth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Drake has now accrued 28 weeks at No. 1 this year, which ties Usher’s record for the most weeks at No. 1 in a calendar year. And with a career total of 48 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, Drizzy pushes past Usher as the leader among all male solo acts — only Mariah Carey (79), Rihanna (60), the Beatles (59) and Boyz II Men (50) have spent more weeks at No. 1. That being said, it is worth noting that all 47 weeks of Usher’s Hot 100 reigns were as a leading artist, while Drake has only spent 38 weeks as a leading artist.
Bonus factoid: This week marks the 33rd consecutive week of the Billboard Hot 100 being ruled by a rap song.
