Drake's "Janice STFU" hits No. 1, breaking Michael Jackson's record for most chart-toppers by a male solo artist.

AceShowbiz - Drake's latest single Janice STFU has debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, setting a new record for the most No. 1 hits by a male solo artist. This achievement breaks the previous record held by Michael Jackson, who had 13 No. 1 singles. The track is from Drake's album Iceman, which is dominating music charts this week.

On the Billboard 200 album chart announced on May 24, Drake secured the top three positions, with Iceman, Habibiti, and Maid of Honour landing at No. 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Following this success, the latest Billboard Hot 100 chart, revealed on May 26, confirmed Janice STFU as the leading single.

This single marks Drake's 14th No. 1 hit, surpassing Michael Jackson's record of 13. Additionally, Drake has an unprecedented total of 42 songs on the Hot 100 this week, breaking another record for the most simultaneous entries on the chart. His total of top 10 hits has also risen to 90, setting a new benchmark in the industry.

Other tracks from Iceman that charted in the Hot 100 top 10 include Ran to Atlanta featuring Future and Molly Santana at No. 2, followed by Whisper My Name at No. 3, Shabang at No. 4, National Treasures at No. 6, Make Them Cry at No. 7, Dust at No. 8, 2 Hard 4 the Radio at No. 9, and Make Them Pay rounding out the top 10.

Drake hinted at surpassing Michael Jackson through his album art, which features the rapper wearing Jackson's famous autographed crystal-studded glove. Reportedly, Drake acquired this iconic glove in 2023 for $123,000. This symbolic gesture foreshadowed his latest chart-breaking success.

With these records, Drake continues to solidify his status as one of the most influential artists in music history. Fans and industry insiders alike are watching closely as he redefines chart dominance in 2026.
