Thanks to “God’s Plan” and his 2016 hit “One Dance,” the rapper has become the first lead solo male with two 10-week Billboard Hot 100 number ones.
There have only been six acts overall to score at least two 10-week number ones. The others are Boyz II Men, The Black Eyed Peas, Santana, Pharrell Williams and Mariah Carey.
According to Billboard, “God’s Plan” is also just the fifth song in history to spend at least its first 10 weeks on the chart at number one, and the first by a solo male since Elton John and Puff Daddy both did it in 1997.
As previously reported, in late January, Drake surpassed JAY-Z as the rapper with the most BillboardHot 10 top 10s, with a total of 22 hits, thanks to “God’s Plan” and his other song from Scary Hours, “Diplomatic Immunity.”
