Drake ties Michael Jackson as the male soloist with most number 1 in Hot 100 history.
Canadian rapper and singer Drake has reached a significant milestone by tying Michael Jackson as the male solo artist with the most number-one songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Drake’s commercial success has been nothing short of extraordinary since the release of his debut album, ‘So Far Gone,‘ and he is often regarded as one of the best-selling rappers of all time.
In a remarkable achievement, Drake has now equaled Michael Jackson’s record, with both artists having achieved 13 number-one songs on the Billboard Hot 100.
This achievement was made possible with his latest hit, ‘First Person Shooter‘ (Chart week of October 21, 2023), which is part of his recently released album ‘For All The Dogs.’

With his remarkable achievement of tying Michael Jackson’s record, Drake is now on the verge of setting a new record as the male solo artist with the most number-one songs in Hot 100 history. His single ‘IDGAF‘ featuring YEAT is currently in contention for the number one spot on the chart next week.
‘First Person Shooter‘ is Drake’s second number one single from his recently released album ‘For All The Dogs,‘ following ‘Slime You Out‘ featuring SZA, which also reached the number one position. Drake’s impressive chart-topping success continues to solidify his status as one of the most influential artists in the music industry.
After breaking the tie of 13 albums he had previously had with Taylor Swift, Drake now holds the record for the most No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 this century.
