Drake broke the record for the artist with most Top 10 singles on Billboard Hot 100 but he did not achieve it on his own. He needeed to thank DJ Khalid for that.
DJ Khaled's "Popstar" and "Greece," both featuring Drake, debuted at No. 3 and No. 8, respectively, at the Billboard Hot 100. The songs peaked at No. 1 and No. 7 on Digital Song sales with a respective 15,000 and 9,000 sales.
It, also, secured the Nos. 3 and 4 spots on Streaming Songs with 28.4 million and 22.1 million streams, respectively. As for radio airplay, the tracks drew 13.1 million and 3.5 million radio airplay audiences.
All of these helped the songs to climb on top of the Hot 100 and the "In My Feelings" singer collecting his 39th and 40th Top 10s on the chart, breaking Madonna's record. The "Vogue" singer has 38 Top 10s on Hot 100.
Madonna was followed by The Beatles with 34, Rihanna with 31, and Michael Jackson with 30. Completing the top 12 artists with most Hot 100 Top 10s are Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Janet Jackson, Elton John, Lil Wayne, Elvis Presley, and Taylor Swift.
Madonna held the record for more than a decade after her song "4 Minutes" featuring Justin Timberlake reached No. 3 in 2008. She and Drake tied at 38 apiece in May when the Canadian rapper dropped "Pain" featuring Playboi Carti. The song charted at No. 7.
However, Madonna still holds the record for the most Hot 100 Top 10s in lead roles with 38. Drake, on the other hand, has 25 Top 10s as a lead and 15 as a featured artist on songs by Rihanna, Travis Scott, Future, DJ Khaled, and more.
Drake, also, extended his records for the most career Hot 100 entries with his new collaboration with DJ Khaled. He now has 224 Hot 100 entries and 113 in Top 40 after he released a full-length album, Dark Lane Demo Tapes, in May. Every track from the album placed on the Hot 100, including "Toosie Slide" at No 1.
Drake's run at the Billboard charts began in 2009 when his "Best I Ever Had" peaked at No 2. Madonna, on the other hand, started at No. 4 in 1983 with her hit song "Lucky Star."
Meanwhile, Drake also scored two Top 10s last week in the U.K. One for "Greece" after it debuted at No. 8, and his Headie One duet "Only You Freestyle" at No. 9. Drizzy's latest songs with Khaled will be featured on the music producer's upcoming album, titled Khaled Khaled.
