In a historic milestone for the music industry, Drake has joined the ranks of the legendary Michael Jackson, securing the record for the male solo artist with the most No. 1 songs in Billboard Hot 100 history. This achievement marks a significant moment for both artists, solidifying their impact on the music landscape.
Drake's chart-topping hit, "First Person Shooter," marks his 13th No. 1 on America's Billboard charts. This feat hasn't been equaled since the iconic Michael Jackson achieved it in 1995 with the timeless ballad, "You Are Not Alone”. With this achievement, both the "God's Plan" rapper and the "Billie Jean" singer now share the esteemed title of fourth-most No. 1 songs on the Hot 100.
"First Person Shooter" serves as the lead single from Drake's latest album, "For All The Dogs." The album, released on October 6th, soared to the top of the Billboard 200 chart, showcasing the rapper's unwavering popularity and influence. Featuring collaborations with musical powerhouses such as J. Cole, Yeat, 21 Savage, SZA, and Bad Bunny, the album has continued to make waves with six additional singles entering the Billboard top ten. Following the release of "For All The Dogs," Drake made a candid revelation about his health, prompting him to take a step back from the music industry.
