Drake Takes Top 14 Spots in Record Week on Streaming Songs Chart

Drake

Drake‘s historic week on Billboard‘s charts (dated Sept. 18) is especially highlighted on the Streaming Songs survey, where he boasts the top 14 titles.

Previously, the most songs that an artist had placed from No. 1 on down on Streaming Songs in a week was eight, by Drake himself, on July 14, 2018, concurrent with the chart arrival of his LP Scorpion.

Looking at the entire Streaming Songs top 10, Drake’s clean sweep is the first after he charted nine on the July 14, 2018, ranking (Nos. 1-8 and No. 10) and J. Cole did the same on the chart dated May 29 this year (Nos. 2-10).

Drake stakes claim to the top 14 spots on the latest Streaming Songs chart all thanks to his new album Certified Lover Boy, which soars in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 613,000 equivalent album units, according to MRC Data, the biggest week for an album in 2021.

Meanwhile, all 21 tracks on the new album infuse the 50-position Streaming Songs chart in the upper half, as Drake sports all but three of the top 24 titles. Here’s a rundown of their ranks and their streams in the Sept. 3-9 tracking week.
