Drake Breaks Rap Number Ones Record

CRWN Me.

After Drake took the crown in 2012, Usher regained it with 13 #1 Rap/R&B singles. But with “Believe Me” going the distance this week, Drizzy’s back on top with 14. Lil Wayne falls to third with 10. Congrats—again.

Previously: 

Back in October, Drake tied Diddy with the most #1 singles on the Billboard Rap Songs chart. Now with “Make Me Proud” landing at #1 last week, Mr. Graham has surpassed Puff with 11 #1s.

  7. STINKMEANER says:

  11. Reg says:

    I am surprised this record is so low… only 11 songs…

  12. JAY THAT NIGGA ROSS says:

    congrats, hes only 2 albums in

  13. FIC says:

    the fact diddy held the record prior to drake just proves how irrelevant this is. you NEVER heard ppl using diddy holding this record as some proof he’s a great rapper. popularity == quality.

  14. Man says:

    You guys are just some haters…if jay z would be the one breaking this record you guys would be all over his sack

  15. Geez says:

    Wow. 2 Albums in about 2-3 years in the game to Diddy’s 10+. Dope shit. Fuck them haters.

  16. Jungle says:

    Take Care the single will take him to 2 milli

  17. dagooch says:

    get some bill russell rings with albums and we got something to talk about. the reason its easier for a newer artist to get it now is because they changed the criteria for getting songs charted. back in the day it was mostly radio play. now itunes singles factored into the charting and people buy singles more than albums now so if you got a hot single and people buy it it doesnt necessarily have to be a radio hit these days. not saying its nothing at all but it was harder for diddy to get most of them number 1 singles due to the way they used to chart singles

  18. zezzoi says:

    dagooch, the fuck u talmbout?

    All of them singles are or have been ALL over radio. Don’t act like it’s just itunes sales.

  19. Collar Cali says:

    Yes!!!
    Co-sign @Gus & @up !!!!

  20. Donn says:

    If it was Jay, Eminem or anybody else, there would be no hate but because it’s Drake niggas wanna hate smh.

    Just give the nigga his props damn

    That’s pretty sweet ain’t it Common? What Common should have done was have some control over his woman and his mouth…Made a track with Drake and maybe one day he could have a couple #1s before his career is over…Nope…Common’s motto should have been shut the fuck up…

    Drake is on a winning streak right now

  30. CecilRhodez says:

    All these dudes saying fuck Drake, yall are far more stupid than ignorant at this point, annoying seeing gumpy ass niggas misspelling words out of anger/foolishness on every site around. I’m no dick rider and I support beef between rappers but yall gotta give it up to him for bring where hes at. So congrats ole thick brow ass, he’s working and I’m not a fan of Lux Rap, I think its senseless but to see the dude from Room From Improvement blow up, man thats something.

  31. Jaymalls says:

    Congrats Drake…. BUT it’s way easier 2 get a #1 single now-a-days!!! It’s a single-driven industry word 2 FloRida an Pitbull! And we have artist artist like Soulja Boy who he helped change how record labels sign artist and put out music!!!

    It was way harder 2 get a #1 back in the day compared to now… Still congrats my young sweet & low, Canadian, body catching nigga!!!!

  32. sumit says:

    i remember when 50 had this record…salute to drake for taking it

  33. Jim says:

    LOL @ ppl trying to clown Common because Drake sold a bunch of crappy pop songs. I’ll take substance over crappy pop songs like “Make Me Proud” any damn day.

    PDiddy was the last person to hold that record so that should really tell you something. Both SUCK and have done nothing for hip hop.

    im not a fan of drake but i gotta give it to him. He stays true doesnt talk about dealing drugs or whatnot. The dude makes songs for the radio and does it well give him props. I mean the shit he puts out is way better then the shit we heard on the radio a couple years back when hiphop was in its slumps .. talkin o5 n o6

    @Anon DCPL is that you ZoomZoomDad hating? i mean working your 9 to 5 job…. lol

  41. Gary says:

    Not trying to hate, but this probably has more to do with the internetz increasing access to music. Back in the day you basically couldn’t hear non-singles unless you bought the album. Nowadays the public instantly figures out what is the jam. Everytime I check out an album, I go to itunes to see what non-single is blowing up.

    Shit, back in the 90’s and 80’s you’d have a song stay #1 on the charts for MONTHS. Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” was basically the number one song on the charts for the entire Clinton administration.

    Eleven #1’s is still an amazing accomplishment though.

  42. […] ALL CREDIT TO THIS POST BELONGS TO Rap Radar […]

  43. Cmon Son says:

    8 of 11 are big time features, best i ever had was #1 basically cause the remix, but the spin count goes to the original, wayne takes the credit on 3 ,ross 2, nicki 2,

    5 0f them are his album track but the better ones are the ones with features, headlines was wack til t.i. & jeezy killed it.

  44. Jason says:

    Why Rap? He makes Rap?

  45. Flash says:

    eleven #1’s in US… good for him… but here in Europe nobody give a fuck…

  46. Mru says:

    Uhhhh so are we going to act like all those songs are his? Only 6 songs are his. Open your eyes. That’s just like wayne for being on so many charted songs…. FEATURES

    1. Los says:

      Those songs would not went number 1 if drake was not involved stop hating and give credit where it’s due

  50. Mru says:

    So all those songs are Drake’s? Nope only 6

  51. j/y h/h says:

    I don’t begrudge Drake his success, and I’m not complaining about the type of music he makes. But these days in terms of the music industry and peoples attention spans, it’s no surprise that he can have so many number 1’s.
    I do have a problem with him when now all of sudden he’s trying to come off like he’s some kind of straight up G. Dude ain’t built like that. It’s easy to talk tough when you can hire goons. He always talking about how his crew will do something, or his crew will “catch a body.” He needs to stay in his lane and stop pretending.
    Also, I find it interesting that people try to clown Common for playing a slave on TV. It’s not like he’s playing a gay dude or something. He’s playing something that is a part of all black people’s heritage. And, it’s not like he’s on there going “yes massah, I be good slave, please don’t whip me massah.” Dude is militant, busting guns and fighting the system. Kind of in line with his rhymes.

  52. j/y h/h says:

    On another note, in that picture Diddy looks like he’s trying to sweet talk Drake into letting him get the draws. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

  53. dmc says:

    haha only 2 of those songs don’t have features

  54. Awesome says:

    5 of them aren’t his songs and some of the aren’t even rap. Pop/ R&B at best

  58. screppin864 says:

    Damn diddy held that record wtf and not drake got it shocking but big ups drizzy just shows how much of a popularity contest it is and good music not saying drake makes bad music but he shouldn’t hold that record

  59. yogottinotboi says:

    Congrats to him but half these songs he’s featured on and if that’s the case he’s not #1 just saying

  60. MHarstad says:

    Its a popularity contest and right now the bitches love this guy..he’s still sweet..Common >>>>Hoe Ass Nigga

  61. Cmon Son says:

    its simple only teenage girls call and request music on radio and this is what they like, soft bubble gum shit. nobody who listens to rap listens to drake except canadians, and well look at their last big artist from Canada, I got to think all the way back to Snow Informer – or Jim Carrey parody on in living color ended his career, i dont think we will be having to deal with this guy much longer. He will get tired of being number to Lil wayne try to separate himself from them then re-invent his image and fail miserably . 2 more years or less and we can forget this dude just like T-pain and any other guy who is collab hook singing slut.

    I will take Quality over Quantity in every scenario including this one, 8 of 11 tracks have features from big time artists, Em,Wayne, Jay,Ross,Timbo, if you cant make hits with these guys you need to quit

  82. A LIL HIP HOP PLZ says:

    THIS IS WHAT HIP HOP HAS COME TO SAD. HES A GOOD WRITER BUT FAR FROM THE BEST…HES NOT A SINGER NOR MC HES A POP ARTIST..HERE FOR ENTERTAINMENT..MAKING HITS THIS GENERATION IS STRIP CLUB BEAT CATCHY HOOK BIG NAME COSIGNS EQUAL TODAYS MUSIC SUCCESS.

  83. A LIL HIP HOP PLZ says:

    Drakes sound and the cash money Rick Ross mmg groups connect to the younger generation which says a lot when most of the younger generation ditch school are drug attics and chase ass and money for peer popularity.

    1. It's Just Music says:

      coming from the dumb fuck who can’t spell addicts!

  84. A LIL HIP HOP PLZ says:

    Music of substance and mind elevation is done. Dumb down music is fine to maintain a balance but we’re swamped with it….let’s pray J Cole and Kendrick and Lupe can keep the authenticity of the hip hop culture alive to save the few who understand.

    1. It's Just Music says:

      Drake raps/sings and writes what his life is about. That is real and hip hop is about being real.
      Kendrick raps and writes about his life. His life is obviously different than Drake’s. He’s real too and what hip hop is about.

      Lupe’s music has too much substance where its not even relatable.
      People don’t want substance, they want a song that they can relate to or get them through life.

      Whether they are having problems with a woman ‘Marvin’s Room’ ing
      lOr feeling like they are trapped in a chaotic life style listening to ‘Sing About Me’.

      Not everyone has the same problems or lifestyle or wants to hear the hardships of life every-time they play a hip hop song you know.

  85. Dee Phunk says:

      they both get credit by Billboard

  90. ZoomZoomDad-Otis says:

    This is nothing compared to what 50 Cent has accomplished.

    Animal Ambition= Best HipHop album of 2014. If dont agree u can chew a dick.

  91. Pusha says:

    It’s sad these days people can’t give credit where it’s due keep doing your thing drizzy it’s only been 5 years that’s outstanding you already a great just keep it going

  92. It's Just Music says:

    How did rap let a Canadian take over the Rap Game?
    Can’t be mad at Drake dumb fucks!
    While 50 was beefing with everybody
    TI making reality shows
    Common worrying about Serena
    Camron wearing suspect capes
    and the whole rap game doing dumb shit

    Drake was the only one making music lmao
    Stop being bitter haters. Your favorite rapper could have done this but they were being lazy!

    too busy worrying about parties and fashion, that’s why your favorite rapper is missing in action!

    call me a stan or whatever but Drake is the best period. whether you want to bring up album sells, records, tours, or money, the rap game let Drake take it all without even trying! lmao

    1. Truestory says:

      did you see the names you just mentioned those rappers already accomplished what they needed to do.. rap year wise, listen [year wise] drake is a junior going into senior year thats why there busy on other ventures making them more money then the rap game your commenting as a fan not understanding

      1. It's Just Music says:

        My post comes from the stand point of music only.
        The rap game has long been about so much pointless shit other than music.
        It has always been about beef, money, cars, fashion, hoes and not about music.
        Then a guy like Drake comes along and focuses strictly on music, completely takes over the rap game, and then fans get mad saying how he isn’t hip hop lol

        It is scary how some people are still living in the MC era still preaching the 4 elements (emcee, dj, b boy, & graffiti) of hip hop.

        That shit was cool in that time period but time to move on guys sheesh. And if you miss it why go on rapradar instead of listening to all those decade old albums?

    2. drakeisdope says:

      TRUEE!!! yall gotta peep the ATL banger http://www.soundcloud.com/love_at_first_sound/madeofgold SOUNDS LIKE A MIX WITH FUTURE AND DRAKE

    3. Bar-Skizzle says:

      Drake is the best… my life. he’s weak. People like Kendrick Lamar and Jon Connor decimate this guy, beat for beat, lyric for lyric. It not even about how many number ones you have or how many records you sell, its which emcee has the best ability and lyrics. Tech n9ne for instance, amazing flow and his lyrics are raw, drake.. he rapping about ponies, car, money, weezy and himself. He’s weak.

      1. It's Just Music says:

        Let Kendrick prove to the world he still has many Good Kid Mad Cities in him before you give him the verdict.
        Kendrick is dope as hell and I have no doubt he has crazy shit to come. But legends do the same thing TWICE and consistently.
        Drake has been consistent since day 1.

        Tech N9ne can’t write songs. He is a gimmick rapper like Hopsin. No one cares about flow or lyrics. They want a good and relatable song.

  93. jaja420 says:

    you guys do realize he’s only been in the game 5 years that’s 2 number 1’s every year, cut down on the hate

    1. More Feature verse #1’s than his own songs, just to clarify the 14.

      9 of them are feature verses to be exact. Amazing nonetheless.

    Drake dare I say could be the GOAT in 2 years

  99. quakedhh says:

    Yet he still doesn’t have a #1 song on the Hot 100 where it REALLY counts lol.

  100. GetReal says:

    coming from a huge kdot fan hating on drake is pointless the nigga still gon win regardless smh and i try to not like him but he’s just better than 98% of the game right and you would have to be bitter fucking retard not to realize this, its literally no reason to say anything bad about him cuz it changes nothin he’s still doing better than your favorite rapper, he still has more hits for the car, iPod, and club, he still will garner the most attention and i think I’ve finally come to realization with this anyone hating on drake is obviously just a lame ass old nigga who doesn’t get out much

  101. PrimoCrtv says:

    Lol yall are sooo mad. Keep killin’ em Drizzy!

  102. M.A.T. says:

    He’s been out for 5 years and has 71 singles. Then you have an artist like George Strait who has 94 singles that span over a period of 32 years. Now tell me today’s music isn’t over saturated.

  103. […] 100 entries have hit No. 1. Back in 2014, the 6 God broke the record for most No. 1’s in the Rap/Hip Hop […]
