Drake’s ‘Certified Lover Boy’ is following up on its recent milestone of out-streaming any album released this year, with more than 430 million streams in the US alone.

Now, the long-awaited album is shattering all previous records for the Billboard Hot 100, as 9 tracks from ‘CLB’ currently occupy the top 10 of the coveted chart, serving as the first for any artist in history. Prior to this feat, ‘Thriller’ by Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson’s ‘Rhythm Nation 1814,’ Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Born in the USA,’ and Drake’s ‘Scorpion’ were the closest, having seven tracks debuting in the top 10.

However, Drake accomplishes the feat by debuting at number one with ‘Way 2 Sexy,’ featuring Future and Young Thug, and with tracks from ‘CLB’ filling the next four spots, the ‘lover boy’ gets himself a historic first on the chart.

Other songs in the top 10 are “Knife Talk” with 21 Savage and Project Pat at No. 5, “In the Bible” with Lil Durk and Givon at No. 7, “Papi’s Home” with Lil Durk and Givon at No. 8, “TSU” with Jay-Z at No. 9, and “Love All” with Jay-Z at No. 10. “Stay” by Justin Bieber and The Kid Laroi stays at No. 6.

Drake also landed all 21 tracks from ‘CLB’ in the top 40 of the Hot 100. With “Way 2 Sexy,” he now joins Mariah Carey, Rihanna, and the Beatles as the only artists to spend a complete year at No. 1.

As expected, ‘CLB’ soared to the top of the Billboard 200, selling 613,000 equivalent album units in its first week, with 743.67 million on-demand streams, including 28.84 million video streams.

Drake’s followers have observed to be particularly devoted, as the Canadian superstar previously charted at number 1, 2, and 3 back in March, when he released his ‘Scary Hours 2’ mixtape which served as a placeholder for ‘CLB’ at a time when fans were eager for new Drizzy music.

They have been served once more, and according to the chart data, they are delighted with the offering.
