Drake has broken yet another record with his new release If You're Reading This It's Too Late, once again setting the mark for the most tracks in the Top 50 of the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Last week, marking the debut of the new album, Drake was part of 14 tracks. This week, the record's second on the charts, he's up to 21 spots.
Out of a total of 50. Meaning, of the 50 top R&B and hip-hop songs in the country right now, 42 percent feature Drake.
Leading the charge onto the charts is "Know Yourself," which debuts at no. 23, thanks to a 13 percent increase in downloads (to 15,000). Six other songs from the album joined "Know Yourself" on the chart for the first time this week, meaning that every one of If You're Reading This It's Too Late's tracks is now featured in the Top 50.
Granted, a lot of Drake's success has something to do with the new metrics used to measure for the charts: streams and downloads have a huge impact now. Of course, no album has ever had more streams in its first week than If You're Reading This.
It should be noted however that five of the 21 tracks just feature Drake in guest spots, and indeed his top two placements are for guest appearances: no. 4 "Only" (by Nicki Minaj) and no. 5 "Truffle Butter" (also by Minaj).
