Drake Breaks The Beatles Billboard Record With Staying Alive

It’s official: Drake has broken the Beatles’ Billboard chart record with his latest single, “Staying Alive.” The collaboration between Drake and Lil Baby hit the chart at number five. Drake’s recent chart success is a testament to his popularity. He has released three full albums in the past year, including certified Lover Boy, which has nine hits in the top ten. Drake also broke the record by charting seven songs on Scorpion, a record that was previously held by the Beatles.

It’s no wonder that the Canadian rapper has a tattoo of the Fab Four, and now Drake has broken their Billboard chart record with “Staying Alive.” ‘Staying Alive’ has already surpassed the record set by The Beatles, who achieved 29 top fives with ‘Real Love’ in 1996. But while Drake has broken the Beatles’ record with Staying Alive, the ‘Beatles’ have more than just staying alive on the charts.

According to Billboard, Drake’s “Staying Alive” has now broken the record of The Beatles with 30 top-ten singles in the U.S. Billboard’s ranking system has changed significantly due to the advent of streaming music. Previously, the ‘Hot 100’ only measured single purchases and radio airplay. With the introduction of streaming services, the Billboard chart now includes the entire tracklist from an album, and Drake now has more top five singles than any other artist.
