Go Drake! The Canadian rapper has tied with Michael Jackson “for the longest-ever simultaneous domination of the two rankings by a male artist” on Billboard.

The two rankings are the album sales – Views has been at the top of the Billboard 200 for 9 weeks consecutively and One Dance featuring our very own Wizkid and Kyla has been Number One on the Hot 100.
The album is also Drake’s most commercially successful till date.
