Drake has accomplished an impressive feat, tying a record set by The Beatles in 1964. Following the release of his new effort, If You're Reading This It's Too Late, the rapper has 14 tunes on the Billboard Hot 100, which the Fab Four achieved after landing in America. Drake is a featured artist on four of the tracks while The Beatles are the lead act on all 14 of their singles, Billboard notes.
A majority of Drake's songs are off of If You're Reading This It's Too Late. His four featured efforts include Nicki Minaj's "Only" and "Truffle Butter," Big Sean's "Blessings" and ILoveMakonnen's "Tuesday."
It took 51 years for an artist to reach the English group's success on the Hot 100 chart. In April of 1964, The Beatles owned the list with tunes like "Can't Buy Me Love," "She Loves You" and "I Saw Her Standing There." Check out the full list of singles for both artists below.
Drake dropped If You're Reading This It's Too Late earlier in February as a surprise. Critics loved the mixtape/album hybrid.
"The 17 tracks that Drake released at midnight on a recent Thursday hit harder and hold together more cohesively than most big-budget event albums. There's nothing resembling a radio single on If You're Reading This It's Too Late, and not many of the seductively sung hooks that rocketed the Toronto MC to fame," Rolling Stone wrote.
