Drake has done it again! He’s now the artist with the most top five hits in Billboard Hot 100 history.  This means Drake passes The Beatles, who have 29, over the list’s 64-year history.  Billboard says, “The Beatles held the top-five mark for 55 years, having last reached the region in 1970 with “The Long and Winding Road”/”For You Blue,” which spent two weeks at No. 1. “Staying Alive” also extended Drake’s records for the most top 10s, top 20s, top 40s and overall Hot 100 entries, dating to the chart’s Aug. 4, 1958, inception.”

To celebrate, Drake shared a screenshot of Billboard’s post with the caption reading, “Ok I broke my records for the month now me and @stake need you to do your thing Bitcoin.”

Drake dropped his seventh studio album (Honestly, Nevermind) back in June – this gave Drake his 11th No.1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.  Drake is now the fifth act with more than 10 No.1 albums on the Billboard charts.  Again, he joins The Beatles (they lead with 19 No.1’s), Jay-Z (14), Bruce Springsteen and Barbra Streisand (each with 11).
