At Billboard, Drake‘s stats know no rival.

In the Hot 100’s 68-year history, the Canadian hitmaker (born Aubrey Graham) has more top 10s (91), top 40s (244), and overall appearances on the chart (407) than any act ever – making him the most-decorated artist the tally has ever seen.

Similarly, the Billboard 200 lists him as the solo act with the most #1 studio albums ever among solo acts (15) and the most weeks at #1 among rappers (41).

And while the details listed above are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to his triumphs at Billboard, the only place that comes close to mirroring those gargantuan wins is the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

As if Graham wasn’t already the dominating force there, Friday (October 23) brought with it a slew of record-extending updates that push his already unprecedented stats into the stratosphere.
