\n\tDrake<\/a> claims one of the most triumphant weeks in the history of the Billboard Hot 100<\/a> songs chart, led by his \u201cJanice STFU\u201d debuting at No. 1.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe song marks Drake\u2019s 14th career Hot 100 leader \u2014 breaking him out of a tie with Michael Jackson for the most among solo males over the chart\u2019s 67-year archives.<\/p>\n

\n\tPlus, Drake adds nine new Hot 100 top 10s \u2014 extending his record total career count to 90.<\/p>\n

\n\tDrake additionally charts a new single-week record 42 songs on the Hot 100 \u2014 surpassing Morgan Wallen, who charted 37 for a week last May. With 40 debuts (likewise, thus, a single-week record), he also becomes the first act ever to have accumulated more than 400 career entries on the chart.<\/p>\n

\n\tAll 42 titles are from Drake\u2019s three new albums \u2014 ICEMAN, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR (released May 15 on OVO Sound\/Republic) \u2014 which debut at Nos. 1, 2 and 3<\/a>, respectively, on the Billboard 200<\/a>, where he becomes the first artist to monopolize the top three simultaneously in the chart\u2019s 70-year history.<\/p>\n

\n\tRead on for details of the entire top 10 on this week\u2019s Hot 100.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts dated May 30, 2026, will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, May 27 (a day later than usual due to the Memorial Day holiday in the United States May 25).

\t\u2018Janice STFU\u2019 Streams, Airplay & Sales<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cJanice STFU,\u201d from ICEMAN, arrives with 40.7 million official streams, 2.1 million radio airplay audience impressions and 3,000 sold in the U.S. May 15-21.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe single launches atop the Streaming Songs<\/a> chart, where it\u2019s Drake\u2019s record-extending 22nd No. 1, with the second-biggest streaming week of 2026, after only Bad Bunny\u2019s \u201cDtMF,\u201d which drew 43 million<\/a> in February, following his Super Bowl LX halftime show performance. \u201cJanice STFU\u201d has the highest sum for an R&B\/hip-hop title in more than a year, since Kendrick Lamar and SZA\u2019s \u201cLuther\u201d logged 45.2 million for a week in March 2025. \u201cJanice STFU\u201d also opens at No. 6 on Digital Song Sales<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cJanice STFU\u201d was the most-streamed and top-selling song among Drake\u2019s newly-released music and fourth in radio reach. The leading title in airplay audience was, ironically, \u201c2 Hard 4 the Radio\u201d (6.3 million), followed by \u201cRan to Atlanta\u201d (4.1 million), \u201cCheetah Print\u201d (2.8 million), \u201cJanice STFU\u201d (2.1 million) and \u201cAmazing Shape\u201d (1.2 million).<\/p>\n

\n\tConcurrently, \u201cJanice STFU\u201d becomes Drake\u2019s record-extending 32nd No. 1 on both the Hot R&B\/Hip-Hop Songs<\/a> and Hot Rap Songs<\/a> charts, which use the same multimetric methodology as the Hot 100. Drake is far ahead of the competition on the rankings, outpacing Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder (20 No. 1s each) on the former and Lil Wayne (12) on the latter.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn My Feelings\u201d (10 weeks, beginning July 21, 2018)<\/p>\n

\u201cNice for What\u201d (eight, beginning April 21, 2018)<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s My Name?,\u201d Rihanna feat. Drake (one, Nov. 20, 2010)<\/p>\n

\n\tDrake also becomes the first artist with as many as 10 No. 1 debuts on the Hot 100. (His only leaders to start not at the bottom, but not on top: \u201cIn My Feelings,\u201d No. 6; \u201cWork,\u201d No. 9; \u201cOne Dance,\u201d No. 21; and \u201cWhat\u2019s My Name?,\u201d No. 83.) All eight of his No. 1s this decade have debuted at the summit.<\/p>\n

\tOne Above Michael: Drake Has Most Hot 100 No. 1s Among Solo Males<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m one away from Michael,\u201d a chart-knowledgeable Drake notes in 2023\u2019s \u201cFirst Person Shooter,\u201d which also shouts out Jackson\u2019s classic 1983 Hot 100 No. 1 \u201cBeat It.\u201d The lyric became antiquated upon the debut of \u201cFirst Person Shooter,\u201d which upped Drake into a tie with Jackson for the most leaders among solo males. With the entrance of \u201cJanice STFU,\u201d Drake\u2019s 14 Hot 100 No. 1s give him the mark all to himself.<\/p>\n

\n\tJackson solely held the record for the most Hot 100 No. 1s among male soloists for more than 35 years, beginning on July 2, 1988, when \u201cDirty Diana\u201d became his 11th (and the fifth from his album Bad, the first of two such feats<\/a> in the chart\u2019s history). That week, he one-upped Stevie Wonder\u2019s 10 No. 1s. Drake tied Jackson at 13 leaders when \u201cFirst Person Shooter,\u201d featuring J. Cole, debuted<\/a> atop the survey dated Oct. 21, 2023.<\/p>\n

\n\tDrake also matches Rihanna and Taylor Swift for the second-most Hot 100 No. 1s among all soloists, after Mariah Carey (19).<\/p>\n

\n\tHere\u2019s a rundown of the acts with the most Hot 100 No. 1s, dating to the chart\u2019s Aug. 4, 1958, inception:<\/p>\n

\n\tPlus, Toronto-born Drake extends his record for the most Hot 100 No. 1s among Canadians<\/a>. His neighbors at the north of the list: Justin Bieber, second with eight, and The Weekend (seven).<\/p>\n

\tDrake Ups Record to 90 Hot 100 Top 10s<\/p>\n

\n\tDrake debuts nine songs in the Hot 100\u2019s top 10, boosting his record total to 90. All nine are from ICEMAN, which joins the elite list<\/a> of albums with five or more top 10s.<\/p>\n

\n\tDrake charts a new single-week record 42 songs on the Hot 100, surpassing the 37 that Morgan Wallen stacked<\/a> on the May 31, 2025, chart, similarly powered by the Billboard 200 debut of his album I\u2019m the Problem.

\n\tAs Drake surges to 90 career Hot 100 top 10s, Future adds his 16th and Molly Santana earns her first in her first week on Billboard\u2019s charts, thanks to \u201cRan to Atlanta.\u201d (Hot 100-lanta: The city was previously represented in the top 10 by either title or artist name thanks to two No. 7-peaking yacht rock favorites by Atlanta Rhythm Section: \u201cSo in to You\u201d and \u201cImaginary Lover,\u201d in 1977-78.)<\/p>\n

\n\tDrake also extends his record for the most top 40 Hot 100 hits to 241 (adding 23), ahead of runner-up Taylor Swift\u2019s 177, with Lil Wayne (91), Presley and Ye (81 each) rounding out the top five.<\/p>\n

\n\tDrake additionally pads his mark for the most overall Hot 100 entries to 402 (debuting 40), becoming the first act to clear a stratospheric 400 career appearances. Swift is next with 276, Future one-ups his total to 228, the Glee Cast compiled 207 and Lil Wayne has 195.<\/p>\n

\tFirst Rap No. 1 in More Than a Year, Again<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cJanice STFU\u201d also stands out sonically as the first rap Hot 100 No. 1 (as defined by titles that have hit Billboard\u2019s Hot Rap Songs chart) in a year and a week, since Kendrick Lamar and SZA\u2019s \u201cLuther\u201d finished its 13-week reign on the May 24, 2025, chart. (In between, 13 titles led \u2014 eight pop, two country, one dance\/pop, one Latin and one R&B.)<\/p>\n

\n\tBefore that break, no rap titles ruled the Hot 100 over more than a year in 2022-23, in between Nicki Minaj\u2019s \u201cSuper Freaky Girl\u201d and Doja Cat\u2019s \u201cPaint the Town Red.\u201d Prior to that, however, rap No. 1s hadn\u2019t missed a year\u2019s span since 1999<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs previously reported, pop overwhelmed R&B\/hip-hop<\/a> in the Hot 100\u2019s upper reaches in 2025.<\/p>\n

\tLykke Li\u2019s \u2018Rivers\u2019 Flows to No. 1<\/p>\n

\n\tAs Drake splashes into unchartered chart waters, \u201cJanice STFU\u201d interpolates Lykke Li\u2019s \u201cI Follow Rivers.\u201d<\/a> That song became a top 10 hitin multiple countries in 2011-12 for the Swedish artist, although it has never reached a U.S. Billboard chart.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI think it\u2019s potent,\u201d Lykke-Li told Rolling Stone<\/a> of the usage in \u201cJanice STFU.\u201d \u201cIt has that raw, revenge, hip-hop energy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLykke Li cowrote \u201cI Follow Rivers\u201d with Bj\u00f6rn Yttling and Rick Nowels, both of whom have hit the Hot 100\u2019s top 10 as writers. The former did so via OneRepublic\u2019s \u201cI Ain\u2019t Worried\u201d (No. 6, 2022), while Songwriters Hall of Fame enshrinee<\/a> Nowels, among his four top 10s, previously ascended to the chart\u2019s most celestial spot with Belinda Carlisle\u2019s \u201cHeaven Is a Place on Earth\u201d in 1987.<\/p>\n

\tDrake-overs & Tay-ke-overs<\/p>\n

\n\tDrake holds nine of the Hot 100\u2019s top 10 for a second time, after becoming the first artist<\/a> with such a haul on the Sept. 18, 2021, chart, the debut week for his album Certified Lover Boy.<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly Taylor Swift has bested him, with three clean sweeps of the Hot 100\u2019s top 10, thanks to the explosive chart debuts for 2022\u2019s Midnights (the top 10<\/a>), 2024\u2019s The Tortured Poets Department (a record top 14<\/a>) and last year\u2019s The Life of a Showgirl (top 12<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\n\tOne song, thus, interrupts Drake\u2019s presence in the latest Hot 100\u2019s top 10: Ella Langley\u2019s \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d at No. 5, down from 10 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1. The track is essentially even week over week in streams (27.7 million), while up 3% to 49.6 million in radio reach and 26% to 9,000 sold \u2014 helped by her record-setting night<\/a> at the Academy of Country Music Awards May 17. It also holds for an eighth week atop Digital Song Sales and tops the multimetric Hot Country Songs<\/a> chart for a 26th week.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe next non-Drake song on the Hot 100 doesn\u2019t show until No. 14: Langley\u2019s \u201cBe Her\u201d (which she sang at the ACMs), down from its No. 2 high. Bruno Mars\u2019 \u201cI Just Might\u201d follows at No. 16, as it leads Radio Songs for a 14th week (71.1 million, down 2%), while topping the multimetric Hot R&B Songs<\/a> chart for a 19th week, extending his longest No. 1 runs on both rankings; it led the Hot 100 for three weeks beginning in January. Next beyond those songs on the Hot 100, aside from those by Drake, are two by Olivia Dean: \u201cMan I Need\u201d (No. 17, after hitting No. 2) and \u201cSo Easy (To Fall in Love)\u201d (No. 20, down from its No. 5 best).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Drake claims one of the most triumphant weeks in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":598455,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[16993,88,58376,498],"class_list":["post-666399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-breaking","tag-entertainment","tag-genre-rap","tag-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/666399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=666399"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/666399\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/598455"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=666399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=666399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=666399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
