Chart Check: Drake Ties Taylor Swift & JAY-Z for Most Billboard 200 No.1s EVER Among Solo Acts Thanks to ‘$exy $ongs’

If you thought Drake‘s record-setting week at Billboard ended at the Hot 100, you thought wrong.

Just a day before the Music Bible announced Drizzy had become the first artist in history to have 80 top 10 hits and over 350 total credits he was crowned the week’s Billboard 200 champion thanks to his PARTYNEXTDOOR-assisted latest album ‘$ome $exy $ongs 4 U.’

By landing atop that all-genre chart, the Canadian rapper has conquered yet another mammoth milestone.

With the summit arrival of ‘$ongs’ to this week’s Billboard 200, Drake (born Aubrey Graham) earned his 14th no.1 on the tally.

As such, he now ties JAY-Z and Taylor Swift for the most chart-toppers among soloists in the 68-year history of the chart. Among all acts, only The Beatles (with 19 no. 1s) can boast having more.

Look below to see all of Graham’s toppers on the Billboard 200.
