Drake keeps rewriting the Billboard record books. 📈
Since debuting on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2009 with “Best I Ever Had,” @Drake has built one of the most dominant chart runs in music history.
Over the years, he became the first artist ever to reach 100, 200, 300 — and now 400 career Hot 100 entries. He also owns records for the most top 2, top 3, top 5, top 10, top 20 and top 40 hits in Hot 100 history, along with the most No. 1 debuts ever.
As Drake’s 'ICEMAN' era continues dominating the charts, Billboard is breaking down every major Hot 100 record he’s broken and the milestones still left to chase: https://t.co/N7t3sWkzr4

One thing about adulthood that way too many people learn way too late (and have no choice but to learn the hard way): you have to be deliberate/proactive about everything. For the first time in your life, you can't be passive participant in anything.
My short film, Supernigga, got rejected every major festival but got 400k views on YouTube organically in a month and had A24 and hella studios begging to make the feature. Moral of the story is there is no one path for all. I choose the internet over festivals.
Over 300 colleges, professional teams, and businesses have used the Drake Iceman cover across multiple social media platforms in the last 24 hours. You can’t fake influence 🥶 #Iceman
Wayne not “letting Drake buy his masters” assumes Wayne personally owned all of Drake’s catalog outright in the first place. That’s not really how those YM/CM/UMG structures worked.
Also“catalog remains with Universal” does not automatically mean Drake doesn’t own or control portions of his masters now. Ownership, distribution rights, licensing terms and revenue participation are all separate things.
Music business Twitter keeps flattening nuanced deal structures into one sentence.
Drake's "Make Them Cry" officially breaks the all-time record for biggest streaming day for a hip-hop song in global Spotify history (13.2 million).
It surpasses Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us".
