Drake joined the Beatles and Ariana Grande in occupying the top three spots on the Hot 100 chart simultaneously, and is the first male solo artist to do so.

The 34-year-old Canadian shattered the records with his smash tracks What's Next, Wants and Needs, and Lemon Pepper Freestyle respectively, according to Billboard.

What's Next also marks Drake's eight number one hit on the Hot 100, ousting Olivia Rodrigo's Drivers License after eight weeks on the throne.
