Drake has reportedly surpassed Michael Jackson’s long-standing record for the most number one songs by a solo male artist. The achievement was reportedly secured with the release of the song “Janice STFU,” which debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Previously, Michael Jackson held the record, having accumulated 13 number one hits as a solo artist on the Billboard Hot 100.
Jackson’s chart dominance began with his 1972 hit “Ben” and included nine subsequent chart-topping songs during the 1980s. His tenure as a number one charting solo artist concluded with “You Are Not Alone,” which reached the top spot in 1995. This established “King of Pop” record for more than three decades.
Drake’s recent chart success follows a period where the Canadian rapper had drawn significant attention from fans. The new milestone solidifies Drake’s position as a highly successful contemporary solo artist in the music industry. His latest chart performance marks a significant statistical achievement in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, setting a new benchmark for any future solo male artist.
