As if Drake didn’t have enough to celebrate after his latest album, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, went gold in just one weekend, all 17 songs have now charted individually on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
“Energy” from the new album is the fan favorite, as it’s landed at the #9 spot with no video and very little radio play. The song did, however, receive over 4.6 million stream clicks, 82% stemming from Spotify plays. Sales of the song have also risen 21% since last week.
In addition to these 17 entries, Drizzy is featured on four other charting singles, bringing his total up to 21 and breaking his own record for artist with the most concurrently charted singles, previously set at a still impressive 14. This means Drake rules a whopping 42% of the 50-slot Billboard chart alone.
