In May, thanks to the success of songs found aboard his surprise drop mixtape – ‘Dark Lane Demo Tapes’ – Drake tied Queen of Pop Madonna‘s longstanding record for most Hot 100 top 10 hits ever (as we reported here).
On Monday (July 27), which is ironically the 37th anniversary of her self-titled debut album (which housed her first top 10 hit ‘Lucky Star’), Madge found out he’s broken the tie.
Details inside:
Beyond having more entries on the tally than any other artist in history (over 200), Drake’s unprecedented Hot 100 run has also seen him crowned the first male act to have three of his singles debut at #1 on the chart over the course of his career (as we reported here), he’s the only artist to concurrently place 7 songs in the top 10 (as we reported here), has the most top 10 debuts (25), and only artist to have 27 simultaneous entries.
Now, after breaking King of Pop Michael Jackson‘s Hot 100 record for ‘most weeks at #1 among males’ and ‘most top 10 hits among males,’ Drizzy has dethroned Queen of Pop Madonna from her longstanding record.
“As his latest two collaborations with DJ Khaled, “Popstar” and “Greece,” launch at Nos. 3 and 8, respectively, on this week’s Hot 100, Drake ups his career total of top 10 smashes from 38 to 40.
In doing so, the Canadian powerhouse becomes the first artist in U.S. history to collect as many top 10s on the list.”

In her day a song had to actually be a single to be on the hot 100. The whole album could not chart. Plus she was the lead artist on all 38 of her top 10s.
And more than half of those hits are features not solo like Madge or MJ. I like him but he is nowhere near the legends
Madonna > Drake. Tragic.
The crown has been passed from one queen to the next. 💅🏽
speaking of crackhead carey
did my b**** Pink say anything to her droppn hints that she should retire for testing positive for c******* ? carey said if she had it she would retire,
I’m sure I’m in the minority, but I can’t name a single song by Drake. I did enjoy him on Degrassi though.
Congrats Sis
If Madonna was in play during the digital age, she would have KILLED him. Every track from her albums would have gone top 10, but that’s not how it worked in the 80s or 90s. She is also the lead artist on her songs, not this featuring crap.
Michael Jackson, Elvis, the Beatles, etc. didn’t have access to EASY digital sales and streaming. PERIOD
