Drake Celebrates Breaking The Beatles Top 5 Billboard Record
Drake officially has more slaps than The Beatles.
The Canadian rapper becomes the artist with the most top five hits on the Billboard Hot 100 as his DJ Khaled collaboration “Staying Alive,” which also features Lil Baby, debuts at No. 5 on the chart this week.
Drake now has 30 top five hits under his belt, surpassing The Beatles, who have 29. The legendary group held the title for 55 years, with their last top five entry in 1970 with “The Long and Winding Road” / “For You Blue,” which spent two weeks at No. 1.
