With 12 hits atop the Billboard charts this year alone, he broke the Beatles’ 1964 record
We’re three weeks into October and Drake has been busy. He is inescapable.
On Monday, Drake officially broke the record for most the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 songs in a single year, passing the Beatles’ 1964 record in the process. October’s Very Own owned every single week this October, and hit this achievement two days away from his birthday on the 24th. Drake is the king of the pop world, and all before his 32nd birthday.
Drake, like the Beatles, is an era-defining artist in a way that will likely never be duplicated quite the same way. One day, another shift will occur, and another artist will have a moment of music industry dominance has pronounced as this one. That time isn’t now. Drake’s reign has no end in sight.
