Whether you hate him or love him, there’s no denying the fact that Drake is a hit maker. All of his hard work has paid off, as expected, making the “Energy” rapper the fourth artist to score 100 Billboard Hot 100 hits. Just last week, Drizzy was at 92 songs, but eight new songs from his collaboration album, What A Time To Be Alive, with Future brought him to 100. What A Time To Be Alive debuted at number 1 with 375,000 copies sold. Other artists that have had the most Hot 100 visits include the Glee Cast (207), Lil Wayne (127), Elvis Presley (108), James Brown (91), Jay Z (83), Ray Charles (75), Chris Brown (73), Aretha Franklin (73), and The Beatles (71).
Despite his dragged out beef with Meek Mill, Drake hasn’t let anything keep him down. Not only did he just open up a new restaurant in his hometown of Toronto, he also grabbed the cover of The Fader’s 100th issue. In a sit down interview with the magazine he addressed the ghostwriting rumors stating, “I need, sometimes, individuals to spark an idea so that I can take off running. I don’t mind that. And those recordings—they are what they are. And you can use your own judgment on what they mean to you… It’s just, music at times can be a collaborative process, you know? Who came up with this, who came up with that—for me, it’s like, I know that it takes me to execute every single thing that I’ve done up until this point. And I’m not ashamed.”
