Drake surpasses The Beatles for longest time charting on the Billboard 200

One of music’s ultimate record-breakers.

Drake has officially made history once again—this time by surpassing one of the greatest musical acts of all time.

The Canadian superstar has overtaken The Beatles to become the artist with the most cumulative weeks on the Billboard 200 chart.

Drake’s albums have now collectively spent over 3,346 weeks on the Billboard 200, breaking the record previously held by the legendary British band.

Known for redefining modern pop and rock in the 1960s, The Beatles set a gold standard for success in the music industry, holding countless records for decades.

Their impact on global music culture remains unparalleled, but Drake’s latest achievement shows how today's streaming era has allowed a new generation of artists to reach extraordinary heights.

Among Drake’s biggest chart successes:

Take Care has spent an astonishing 578 weeks on the Billboard 200,

Nothing Was the Same boasts 505 weeks,

Views holds strong with 411 weeks,

More Life follows with 350 weeks,

and Scorpion rounds out with 300 weeks on the chart.

In addition to this historic feat, Drake continues to dominate across multiple fronts. He holds numerous Billboard records, including:

Most Billboard Hot 100 entries (358),

Most Top 10 hits (80),

Most Top 5 hits (42),

and the longest consecutive Hot 100 streak at 431 weeks.

He also ties Jay-Z and Taylor Swift for the most Billboard 200 No. 1 albums by a solo artist, with 14 chart-toppers to his name.

From his early days blending rap and R&B on So Far Gone to becoming a global pop culture icon, Drake has consistently evolved while staying at the top of the game.

Much like The Beatles once symbolized the height of musical success for their generation, Drake now represents the epitome of modern commercial dominance.

Breaking The Beatles’ record is no small feat—it cements Drake’s legacy not just as one of the biggest names in hip-hop, but as one of the most successful music artists in history.
