Drake is coming for Michael Jackson's crown for most number one hits by a male solo artist
Earlier this month, Drake released his eighth studio album, For All the Dogs, which reached number one on the Billboard 200 chart.
Following the release of the album, the track "First Person Shooter" – which features J. Cole – debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Drake's thirteenth number one debut. This now means he is tied with Michael Jackson for the most number one debuts as a male solo artist.
The Beatles take the top spot with 20 number ones, with Mariah Carey (19) and Rihanna (14) coming in after them. Drake alluded to the competition in the song itself, as he says "I'm one away from Michael", and also references Jackson's song, "Beat It".
Drake's son Adonis created the artwork for For All the Dogs, and recently released his debut track, "My Man Freestyle". It appears as though Drake is passing the baton to his son, as following the release of his most recent album, he revealed that he will be taking a break from music to focus on his health.
“I probably won’t make music for a little bit...I’m gonna be real with you: I need to focus on my health, first and foremost." He revealed that he has been suffering from the craziest problems with his stomach "for years" now and is finally going to take the time to address them as he believes it is important for "people to be healthy in life.”
“I need to focus on my health, and I need to get right, and I’m going to do that,” he revealed. “So, I’ma lock the door in the studio for a little bit. I don’t even know what a little bit is,” he continued, adding that he might be gone for “maybe a year.”
