Drake Dominates Billboard Charts: 'Janice STFU' Debuts at No. 1, Shattering Records

It's official: Drake has cemented his place in music history with a record-shattering performance on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. His latest single, "Janice STFU," has debuted at No. 1, marking a monumental achievement in his already illustrious career.

This achievement propels Drake past Michael Jackson for the most No. 1 hits among solo male artists in the chart's 67-year history, with a staggering 14 chart-toppers. But the accolades don't stop there.

Drake has also added nine new songs to the Hot 100 top 10, bringing his career total to an unprecedented 90 top 10 hits. He now holds the record for the most songs charting in a single week, with an astonishing 42 tracks simultaneously on the Hot 100, eclipsing Morgan Wallen's previous record of 37. Of those 42 songs, 40 are debuts, another single-week record.

All 42 tracks hail from Drake's newly released trio of albums – ICEMAN, HABIBTI, and MAID OF HONOUR – which have collectively seized the top three spots on the Billboard 200 chart. This feat marks the first time in the chart's 70-year history that an artist has monopolized the entire top three.

The Hot 100 chart rankings blend U.S. streaming data (official audio and video), radio airplay, and sales data. Data is reviewed by Luminate, Billboard's independent data provider, who authenticates the information.

'Janice STFU' Streams, Airplay & Sales

"Janice STFU," taken from ICEMAN, made a splash with 40.7 million official streams, 2.1 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 3,000 copies sold in the U.S. within its first week (May 15-21).

The single debuted at the top of the Streaming Songs chart, making it Drake's record-extending 22nd No. 1. The song garnered the second-highest streaming week of 2026, just behind Bad Bunny's "DtMF," which had 43 million streams in February. "Janice STFU" is the highest streaming R&B/hip-hop song in more than a year, since Kendrick Lamar and SZA's "Luther" logged 45.2 million for a week in March 2025. "Janice STFU" also opened at No. 6 on Digital Song Sales.

"Janice STFU" also becomes Drake's record-extending 32nd No. 1 on both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts.
