Move over Migos, you guys may not be the only ones better than the Beatles. Drake currently has 14 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, which ties the record once set by the Fab Four almost 51 years ago.


Drizzy’s surprise project, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late , has been breaking all kinds of records since it debuted atop the Billboard 200 with 535,000 units sold in its first week. The Toronto rapper also became the first rapper to premiere at No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100 chart and have a record 21 songs (17 from IYTITL) on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.


Now Drake has 14 tunes concurrently on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, which matches the Beatles record made on April 11, 1964.


It’s safe to say that Drake’s project, which is considered a mixtape and not a traditional album, is one of the biggest musical efforts of 2015 so far.
