On the Sept. 10 tally, the track bested the command of Robin Thicke&#8217;s &#8220;Blurred Lines,&#8221; featuring T.I. and Pharrell, which led for 16 weeks in 2013. In third place, Mary J. Blige&#8217;s &#8220;Be Without You&#8221; ruled for 15 weeks in 2006.<\/p>\n<p>(For the purposes of this research, and Drake&#8217;s record run at No. 1, data goes back to Oct. 20, 1958, when <em>Billboard<\/em> unveiled the first all-encompassing R&amp;B songs ranking, aka, the present-day Hot R&amp;B\/Hip-Hop Songs chart.)<\/p>\n<p>With Drake having dominated summer &#8217;16, here&#8217;s a look at 10 other honors he&#8217;s recently achieved.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 Drake has led the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/artist-100\">Billboard Artist 100<\/a> chart for 21 weeks overall, the most among males. That&#8217;s second overall only to Taylor Swift&#8217;s 31 weeks on top (dating to the chart&#8217;s July 2014 inception).<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 Drake&#8217;s album <em>Views<\/em> has spent 12 total weeks at No. 1 on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/billboard-200\">Billboard 200<\/a>, the most time in charge for an album by a male artist since Billy Ray Cyrus&#8217; <em>Some Gave All<\/em> logged 17 weeks at No. 1 in 1992.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 <em>Views<\/em> boasts the third-most total weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 ever for a hip-hop album. It trails only MC Hammer&#8217;s <em>Please Hammer Don&#8217;t Hurt &#8216;Em<\/em> (21 weeks, 1990) and Vanilla Ice&#8217;s <em>To the Extreme<\/em> (16 weeks, 1990-91). Notably, <em>Views<\/em> has led the Billboard 200 longer than any other hip-hop album since Nielsen Music data began powering the chart in May 1991.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 <em>Views<\/em> has drawn more than 2.3 billion on-demand audio streams for its tracks in the U.S. (through Sept. 1), according to Nielsen Music. That&#8217;s the biggest streaming total ever for an album&#8217;s songs, and <em>Views<\/em> is the only album with more than 2 billion streams earned by its tracks. (The count includes plays by <em>Views<\/em> songs released before the album&#8217;s arrival, including &#8220;Hotline Bling.&#8221;)<\/p>\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"fitvid0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vcer12OFU2g\" width=\"650\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 &#8220;One Dance&#8221; and <em>Views<\/em> combined to give Drake the longest control, among solo males, of both the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 simultaneously with one song and one album: nine weeks. Drake passed Michael Jackson&#8217;s seven-week run of &#8220;Billie Jean&#8221; and <em>Thriller<\/em> leading both lists at the same time in 1983. Among all artists, Drake&#8217;s total is second only to the Whitney Houston&#8217;s 12-week stretch in 1992-93, which the late legend earned thanks to &#8220;I Will Always Love You&#8221; and the soundtrack to <em>The Bodyguard<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 Drake foreshadowed his steamy summer &#8217;16 by making history on the Hot 100 May 21 (the week that <em>Views<\/em> bowed atop the Billboard 200), when he charted a record-breaking 20 titles on the Hot 100 at once, the most that any act has posted in one week.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 Drake has linked the most consecutive weeks in the Hot 100&#8217;s top 10 among all male artists: 51 (and counting!), as of the Sept. 17 chart. Only Katy Perry, with 69 straight weeks in the top 10 in 2010-11, has scored a longer streak.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 Drake has totaled a record 17 No. 1s on <em>Billboard<\/em>&#8216;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/rap-song\">Hot Rap Songs<\/a> chart. Puff Daddy is second with 10. Drake also has earned a record 53 top 10 hits on Hot Rap Songs. Lil Wayne ranks second, with 42. Drake&#8217;s latest Hot Rap Songs leader is the chart&#8217;s current topper &#8220;Too Good,&#8221; featuring Rihanna, which has spent three weeks at No. 1 (through the Sept. 17 chart).<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 Drake has earned 51 top 10 hits on the Hot R&amp;B\/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Since his first, &#8220;Best I Ever Had,&#8221; debuted on May 2, 2009, the runner-up has roughly half that sum, as Lil Wayne follows with 28 in that span.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 Drake is close to becoming the soloist with the most entries ever on the Hot 100. He&#8217;s up to 126, trailing only Lil Wayne, who has 132. Among all acts, they are bested only by the cast of Fox&#8217;s <em>Glee<\/em>, with 207.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps he&#8217;s saving those superlatives, and likely others, for fall &#8217;16, and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Source: billboard.com<\/p>\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-395\" data-postid=\"395\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-395 themify_builder themify_builder_front\">\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<!-- \/themify_builder_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A look back at Drake&#8217;s scorching summer, and more, on the charts.
