With the inclusion of streaming stats in Billboard’s single and album charts’ placements these days, the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 records of many-a-legend are unsafe.

Indeed, thanks to Rihanna, the likes of Aretha Franklin, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, The Beatles, and Whitney Houston have all seen their historic achievements on the platforms met or surpassed.  Now, the Bajan beauty’s ‘Work‘ co-star Drake, is joining the fun.

In September 2015 he became the 4th artist ever to place at least 100 titles on the Hot 100 over the course of a career. Before him, only his mentor Lil’ Wayne, FOX’s hit musical show ‘Glee,’ and Elvis Presley were in the exclusive club. This week, after setting album streaming records, moving over 1 million units of his latest album ‘Views,and gaining 20 simultaneous placements on the singles chart, Drizzy’s not only crushed a record by fellow Canadian heartthrob Justin Bieber, but he also pushes past Presley’s.

      Jt #1 really are you serious that song is rubbish if that even gets top five I won’t be shocked with the rest of the trashy songs released this year I’m still getting ova the fact that Rachet went to #1 with work and Horemany got top ten with hookers work from home

      • IStan4Rihanna. May 12, 2016

        Currently, there is an 82% chance that “Can’t Stop The Feeling” will debut at #1.

        .

        1) It’s sold in excess of 430K digital copies as of today.
        .
        2) It’s debuted at #7 on ‘SPOTIFY’ with first day streams of 9 Million (albeit it’s slightly decreased since).
        .
        3) It’s currently at #12 on overall radio and broke the records for the most adds received by all Pop radio formats in history yesterday – the audience impressions it’s gained already are astounding.

        .

        The lowest it will debut is #2.
