There’s no two ways about it; Drake is one of the most successful acts ever.

Beyond being the best-selling singles artist in RIAA history, his host of staggering Billboard stats are underscored by having the most Hot 100 #1 hits of any rapper (13), the most Hot 100 top 10 hits of any act (78), and the most overall entries in the Hot 100’s 66-year history (338).
