Drake has become the only act in music history besides The Beatles to chart on the Billboard 200 for at least 3,000 cumulative weeks. The report comes from Chart Data, which shared the news on social media, on Thursday. The Beatles are far from the only legendary artists Drake has been competing with for his place in Billboard history. Last year, he tied Michael Jackson in his journey to have the most No. 1 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart ever.
The historic feat comes as Drake has been feuding with Kendrick Lamar. He’s dropped both “Family Matters” and “The Heart Part 6” to diss the rapper since last week. In response, Lamar has released “Meet The Grahams” and “Not Like Us.” Upon release of the latter, Lamar broke the record for most streams ever in a single day on the US Spotify and Global Spotify charts for a rap song.
