edged closer to breaking another Billboard chart
record this week when his latest single "Started
From The Bottom" jumped from 19-3 on the Hot
R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. This is Drake's 30th
appearance on the chart's top ten trailing only Lil
Wayne (34) and R. Kelly (32).
Drake already owns the record for the most #1′s
on the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart for a rapper. He
took the title from Jay-Z last August as a guest on
2 Chain'z "No Lie." It was the tenth time Drake
topped the chart – 7 as a featured artist. His first
single to break into the top ten and reach number
one was 2009′s "Best I Ever I Had."
The Toronto based artist also passed Diddy on the
list for most #1 rap songs last February. His
collaboration with Nicki Minaj, "Make Me Proud,"
became his 11th single to reach number 1 on
Billboard's Rap chart.
"Started From The Bottom" will appear in the
number two spot of the March 2 edition
of Billboard's rap chart behind Macklemore &
Ryan Lewis' "The Heist."
Drake also appears at #3 on the same chart for A
$AP Rocky's "Fu**in' Problem" and at #4 along
with Lil Wayne and Future for "Love Me." Psy's
"Gangnam Style" comes in at #5, and "I'm
Different," "Swimming Pools (Drank)," "All Gold
Everything," "Feel This Moment," and "I Cry"
round out the top ten.
The rest of the top ten for the R&B/Hip-Hop
chart: "Thrift Shop" (1), "Suit & Tie" (2), "Girl On
Fire" (4), "Fu**in' Problems" (5), "Love Me" (6),
"Diamonds" (7), "Pour It Up" (8), "Adorn" (9), and
"I'm Different" (10).
"Started From The Bottom" is the first single off
Drake's upcoming third album Nothing Was The
Same.
