As if we didn’t lose count of the plethora of Hot 100 records broken by Drake in 2017 and 2018 (see:  most time at #1 in a calendar year, most career Hot 100 hits of any solo act ever, most simultaneous Hot 100 hits, most #1 hits among rappers, etc.), it looks like he doesn’t have any plans of slowing down in 2019.

His latest chart triumph comes courtesy of Travis Scott‘s 2018 megahit, ‘Sicko Mode’ (on which the Torontoian hitmaker features).  Despite debuting in the top 5 in August 2018, the song has not once dropped out of the top 10.  Coming in at #10 this week, the extended stay brought with it a new chart championship.
