Drake Breaks Michael Jackson’s Historic Billboard Hot 100 Record With “Janice STFU” Debut at No. 1

Drake is celebrating one of the biggest chart weeks of his career after "Janice STFU," from his latest album Iceman, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The achievement gives Drake his 14th career Hot 100 No. 1 single, officially breaking his tie with Michael Jackson for the most chart-toppers ever by a solo male artist in the chart's 67-year history.

The milestone further cements Drake's dominance across the Billboard charts during a record-setting run for Iceman. The rapper has spent recent weeks rewriting chart history, including becoming the first artist ever to simultaneously occupy the top three spots on the Billboard 200 with Iceman, Habibti and Maid of Honour.

Fans quickly flooded social media celebrating the latest accomplishment, with many calling the moment another defining chapter in Drake's already historic career. The Canadian superstar has consistently shattered streaming and chart records over the past decade, becoming one of the most commercially successful artists of the modern era.

Drake's string of Hot 100 No. 1 hits spans multiple eras of his career, from early breakthroughs like "One Dance" and "God's Plan" to more recent chart leaders including "First Person Shooter," "Slime You Out" and now "Janice STFU."

The success of "Janice STFU" also continues the explosive rollout surrounding Iceman, which has dominated streaming platforms worldwide since release. Industry analysts expect the album's momentum to continue throughout the summer as multiple tracks gain traction across radio, TikTok and digital platforms.

With the new record, Drake now stands alone atop one of Billboard's most prestigious all-time categories for male solo artists - surpassing even Michael Jackson's legendary total and adding yet another milestone to his unprecedented chart legacy.
