It is no small feat that the rapper is by far the most-awarded act at the Billboard Music Awards (BBMA), with over 230 Billboard Hot 100 chart entries (the most of any artist), as well as the most top 10 hits ever with 45 entries, the most simultaneous top 10 hits with 7 entries, and a slew of other accolades.

The ‘What’s Next’ rapper increased his career BBMA trophy count to 27 – the most of any artist in the show’s history, since winning the 2019 ceremony with a whopping 12 wins.

Prior to the 2021 BBMA ceremony, Drizzy who was up for seven awards – had already won another honor, this time in the Top Streaming Songs category, beating out DaBaby, Pop Smoke, The Weeknd, and Lil Baby.

Drake now has 29 awards, including his recently confirmed Artist of the Decade honor, widening his lead as the award show’s most awarded act ever. Taylor Swift, his nearest rival, currently has 25 BBMA awards.

The aforementioned pop star also remains as the most-awarded female act ever in the BBMAs, entering this year’s ceremony with 23 career wins to her name.

Swift was up for four awards at this year’s ceremony (Top Artist, Top Hot 100 Artist, Top Billboard 200 Artist, and Top Female Artist), and she had a shot to break the record, putting herself even ahead of her closest rival, Adele (who boasts 18 wins to her credit to date).

Swift increased her career number to 25 wins, the highest of any female artist in history, by defeating the competition in the Top Billboard 200 Artist and Top Female Artist categories greatly influenced by her 2020 albums, ‘Folklore’ and ‘Evermore’).
